Description

St Mary's Church, built between 1893 and 1894, was designed by James Miller in a simple Gothic Arts and Crafts style. It has a near-rectangular plan with a deep rubble base topped by a stringcourse, harled above with red sandstone dressings and small lancet windows. The church is situated on a wooded knoll above the main street of Aberfoyle, giving it a picturesque setting. It remains largely unaltered and holds streetscape value as a small rural church.

The church features a long rectangular aisleless nave oriented east-west, with the principal south elevation facing the main street below. This five-bay elevation includes two gabled projections: a small timber-framed porch with cusped timber-framed windows on the far left, and a larger projection to the left of the chancel bay, which contains a simple plate tracery window with two lancets and a roundel above, housing the organ chamber. Above the chancel arch is a gable-roofed open belfry.

The west gable has a plate-tracery window with three lancets and a roundel above, while the east (chancel) gable features a segmentally arched rectangular window with four lancet lights. The rear (north) elevation is intentionally plain, with five bays and a lean-to roofed vestry projecting from the left side.

Inside, the church is accessed through a two-leaf timber-panelled and glazed door with leaded quarries and a fleur-de-lys motif at the center. Some windows contain 20th-century stained glass. The interior is plastered and features a four-bay arch-braced king post roof, with the ceiling lined by timber spars. The carved oak reredos, installed in the 1950s, is dated 1683. There is a circular stone pulpit pierced with cusped Gothic arches from 1899, and timber pews are present throughout.
