Churchyard With Cross-Slab, Kilmaronock Church

This is an 1813 church, built in a Classical hall-church style, situated within a churchyard. It is an ecclesiastical building still in use. The church replaced a previous church on the site.

The church is constructed of red sandstone rubble with harl-pointing, ashlar margins, and dressings. It features a domed stone bellcote. The west elevation is distinguished by a pedimented doorway with a broad, corniced doorpiece, a round-headed door consisting of two panels and a large radiating fanlight above. A blank sandstone panel sits above the door, and the bellcote crowns the apex of the roof. The bellcote itself is constructed of red sandstone ashlar, with a square base, round-headed louvred openings, an eaves cornice, a lead-domed roof, and a finial.

The north and south elevations each have three large, symmetrically placed round-headed windows, with ashlar margins and keystones. An emergency exit has been added to the left-hand elevation. A later stained glass window is set within the original round-arched opening on the east elevation, with an apron below the window.

The windows throughout are 36-pane timber sash and case windows with radiating glazing to the heads. A communion table window incorporates timber plate tracery and stained glass. The church is covered by a grey slate roof.

Inside, the church has a coved ceiling with delicate plasterwork over grills. There is a wooden dado, simple pews, and a gallery supported by slender columns at the west end. The interior features a dentilated cornice. A communion table is positioned at the east end, along with furniture from the late 19th century. Marble memorial plaques are dedicated to the Buchanan family.

The churchyard contains a range of memorials dating from the earlier to late 19th century, including obelisks and Celtic cross memorials. The boundary wall is loosely built of rubble with semi-circular coping. Square gatepiers have depressed ashlar caps.

The adjacent manse and Gartocharn Parish Church are listed separately.
