Description

Lochlee Parish Church was built in 1803 and later repaired and enlarged in 1824. It is a small, four-bay, rectangular-plan parish church with a symmetrical gabled design, featuring Gothic windows and a bellcote at the gable head. The exterior is finished in grey harl, accented with sandstone ashlar quoin strips and margins around the windows and doors. The principal elevation faces the road to the south and includes two large Y-tracery windows with timber mullions in the inner bays, and timber-panelled entrance doors with pointed arch fanlights and quatrefoil lights above in the outer bays. Each gable has a small pointed-arch window. The simple bellcote, located on the west gable, has pierced decoration, a pointed finial, and a small bell, while the east gable features a pointed stone finial.

The windows have small-pane glazing set in timber frames. The roof is covered with graded grey Scottish slate and finished with stone ridge tiles.

Inside, the church has a little-altered interior that showcases fine timber fixtures and fittings. The pulpit at the east end is accessed by steps on each side and features an ogee-hooded sounding board. A panelled gallery at the west end is supported by two timber columns. The interior also includes pews, a carved communion table, and a cast-iron stove with a fender. The dado is finished with tongue and groove panelling, and there is a marble memorial to the Reverend David Inglis on the north wall. A timber stair leads from the entrance lobby to a small session room.

The churchyard is roughly rectangular and enclosed by a random rubble boundary wall. The gravestones are primarily from the late 19th century, with a few that are earlier.
