Description
Duntocher Free Church is a Gothic revival church built between 1844 and 1845, featuring a two-storey, three-bay T-plan design with projecting transepts. There is a later 19th century addition at the rear. The principal elevation is constructed of droved ashlar, while the sides and rear are made of coursed rubble. The building has raised ashlar strip quoins, raised ashlar margins, stone cills, a wide ashlar basecourse, and a moulded eavescourse. The south openings have square moulded hoodmoulds.
The central advanced doorpiece on the south elevation features an elliptical arched opening with Gothic mouldings, a moulded crenellated parapet, and corniced mock-bartizans adorned with large guttae. Stone steps lead up to the main entrance, which is flanked by narrow windows. Above, there is a large central first-floor window with tall narrow windows on either side. The gablehead has a slightly advanced corniced pedestal with Gothic arched mouldings and large guttae, which formerly supported a bellcote.
The east elevation has three bays, with an advanced gabled bay to the right that serves as a transept and contains bipartite windows. A later 19th century single-storey, three-bay pitched roof extension is recessed to the far right, along with a lean-to lavatory extension at the right re-entrant angle. The north elevation features three wide bays, with a later 19th century single-storey pitched roof extension recessed in the centre and bipartite windows, including trefoil windows on the first floor.
The west elevation mirrors the east elevation. The church predominantly has three-pane timber sash and case windows, with pitched roofs covered in grey slates and castellated and triangular stone skews.
Inside, there are slender cast-iron Doric columns and a gallery to the south. The church has been derelict since 2004.
