Background
History
The church was designed in the Neo-Gothic style by W. G. Rowan in 1897. It was built between 1901 and 1904 using Old Red Sandstone. The memorial stone was laid on 11 October 1902. A steeple with a spire was also built with buttresses stepped in at the narrow top. Art nouveau sculptures were also built at the doorway, including a big traceried gable window over the west door. The church hall was built in 1899.
Architecture
The interior roof of the church is made of 90 square panels which include the inscription of the Te Deum. The pipe organ was installed in 1904 and is still in use. The large stained glass window above the main door is a WWI memorial.
