Gartmore Parish Church, Main Street, Gartmore

The church, located on Main Street in Gartmore, was originally built in 1790 as a five-bay, rectangular Chapel of Ease, constructed concurrently with the planned village of Gartmore. It was substantially altered in 1904 by H & D Barclay, who added a bellcote and porch to the principal elevation. The church retains local importance and contributes positively to the area's historical character and streetscape.

The principal (southeast) elevation presents a symmetrical facade overlooking the churchyard and Main Street. A bellcote sits centrally, topped with a bell dating from 1800, and below it is a small Gothic porch with a hooded lintelled window and central door. Two pointed-arch windows flank the bellcote. Gothic wrought iron quatrefoils and finials were added to the roof's outer and centre bays in 1872, inspired by north European designs. The northeast gable is blank, while the southwest elevation features a large, hooded three-light window. To the rear (northwest), there are two pointed-arch windows and a gabled addition from the 20th century.

Significant alterations in 1904, funded by the Cayzer family of Gartmore House, included moving the communion table and pulpit to the northeast end, reopening an old entrance on the southeast elevation, and adding the Gothic porch and bellcote. Internally, galleries were removed to increase floor space, and the symmetrically arranged windows, previously of different heights, were carefully aligned. The interior is plastered with a timber boarded ceiling, a boarded dado, and sanctuary panelling. A semi-octagonal pulpit, featuring raised panels and carved putti, is centrally located on the northeast wall. A carved timber font, supported by four banded columns, is also present. Numerous stained glass windows, predominantly from the early 20th century, commemorate members of the Cayzer family. The timber pews were installed during the 1904 remodelling.

The church is constructed with much-pointed rubble walls, sandstone ashlar margins, and quoin strips, topped with a pitched roof of graded grey slates. A modern stained timber and glazed door provides access.

The walled churchyard, separating the street from the church, contains a variety of gravestones, with the earliest dating from 1793. It is enclosed by random rubble walls with ashlar gate piers and wrought iron gates leading onto the street.
