Description
St Mungo's Episcopal Church Hall, built between 1894 and 1895 by J M Crawford with an addition from the early 20th century, is a pointed Gothic structure located on Main Street in Alexandria. The church is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked red sandstone, featuring ashlar margins and dressings. It has a base course and hoodmoulds.
The east elevation showcases a tall, narrow gable with a broad, parapetted buttressed porch at the ground floor. It includes a five-light arcade along the main front, with pointed arch boarded doors on the returns. Above this, there is a three-light pointed arch window, a small vescia window in the gablehead, and a simple cast-iron cross at the apex. To the outer left, there is a lean-to aisle with a two-light window on the main front.
The south elevation is symmetrically arranged with five bays, featuring bipartite windows at the clerestorey level, which do not have hoodmoulds. A lean-to transept is present at ground level, with buttresses dividing the bays between two-light windows, which have hoodmoulds.
The north elevation also consists of five bays, with tall blind arches at ground level and two-light windows above.
On the west elevation, there is a blind pointed arch window and a lean-to boiler house at ground level.
Inside, the church has a simple interior with a large pointed blind chancel and simple altar furniture. There are blind transept arches, except for an arch recess to the left of the altar that contains a bell. The lady chapel is located in the left transept. A sandstone octagonal baptismal font is present, along with a three-light stained glass window dedicated to Agnes J Burham. The open timber roof features curved braces supported on stone corbels. There are two oval plaques commemorating Alexander Patrick Drummond Telfer Smollett and Frederick James Adamson. The windows have plain leaded square-pane glazing, and the roof is covered with grey slate, complete with ashlar coping to the skews and skewputts.
The hall, which is a single-storey rectangular-plan structure, runs at right angles to the left of the church. It is cement rendered with red sandstone margins and dressings, and features quoins and pointed arch windows. The main elevation includes a porch to the outer left with a two-leaf boarded door, three windows to the right divided by buttresses, a boarded door at the penultimate right, and a window to the outer right. The hall has leaded windows similar to those of the church, a grey slate roof with lead flashings, and gabled louvered ventilation.
