Description

The Parish Church (Church of Scotland) Halls, located on Station Road in Kirknewton, date back to around 1750, with additions and alterations made by Brown and Wardrop in 1872. This T-plan Gothic church features a short saddleback tower at the west end and a gable-front main elevation to the north. The structure is built from squared snecked rubble stugged grey sandstone for the tower and principal elevation, with rubble sandstone used for the rear. It includes droved ashlar dressings and windows set in stop-chamfered surrounds. The base course is chamfered, and there is a string course above the entrance level. At the rear, there are single-storey halls.

On the north (principal) elevation, there is an advanced central bay with three lancets at ground level and hood-moulded curvilinear-tracery above. This bay is flanked by recessed entrances on either side, featuring hood-moulded Gothic entrances with boarded timber doors accessed by five steps. Above, piended dormers with bipartite trefoil-headed windows are present. The left outer bay is advanced and gabled, containing a single lancet and an arrow loop above.

The west elevation has a single gable with triple lancets at ground level and a bipartite trefoil-headed window in a square opening above. The south elevation features a later central gable with a pair of round-headed openings at ground level, each with two trefoil-headed shafts and a quatrefoil light, along with louvred gablet ventilators.

Inside, the church has a timber truss roof supported by stone corbels, with a boarded ceiling. The squat square-plan tower consists of three stages, with an arrow loop at the base of the front elevation. The second stage has single lancets, and there are a pair of lancets at the apexes, topped with a saddleback roof.

Adjoining the southwest corner of the church is a single-storey, seven-bay piended hall. This hall features three pairs of segmental-headed openings and a square-headed door located off-center to the right. The hall has zinc or cast-iron lattice glazing and a grey slate roof, with stepped skews and cruciform finials.

The boundary walls are constructed of sandstone rubble topped with roughly semi-circular copes, and there are square-plan gatepiers.
