Description
St Angus Episcopal Church in Lochearnhead, built around 1885, is a rectangular-plan church featuring a nave, chancel, porch, vestry, and a gabletted belfry, all designed in a plain gothic style. The church is constructed from squared and snecked rubble sandstone, accented with polished red sandstone dressings. It has a battered base, cusped windows, overhanging eaves, and decorative bargeboards.
On the north elevation, there is a gabled porch located to the outer right, which includes a roll-moulded doorway and a boarded timber door fitted with decorative wrought-iron hinges. Above the porch, there is a blind slit opening in the gablehead topped with an iron cruciform finial. The nave features both 4-light and 2-light windows. To the outer left, the lower recessed chancel has a 2-light window.
The south elevation showcases an advanced gabled vestry with a single window and a blind slit in the gablehead, along with the same 4-light and 2-light windows as seen on the north elevation. The east elevation is notable for its 5-light window set in a pointed-arched panel. The west elevation includes a 3-light window and a trefoil window in the gablehead, all featuring clear leaded glass with colored glass margins. The church is topped with a graded grey slate roof adorned with decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and the gabletted belfry is capped with a cruciform finial. A bell, cast in 1890 by J Murphy in Dublin, is housed in the belfry, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.
Inside, the church features a boarded dado and an open timber roof, with a pointed chancel arch and an open timber beam roof. Decorative iron suspended light fittings illuminate the space, which contains timber pews with additional hinged seats attached. The altar is adorned with a painted and gilded reredos depicting Saints Ninian, Columba, Blane, and Angus. Additionally, there is a stained glass window on the east side dedicated to the memory of Rear Admiral Malcolm MacGregor of MacGregor, who died in 1879.
