New Kilpatrick Parish Church
The New Kilpatrick Parish Church is a church of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland in the Scottish city of Bearsden in East Dunbartonshire . The structure is located in the city center between Kirk Road and Manse Road . In 1971 New Kilpatrick Parish Church was added to the Scottish Monument Lists, initially as a Category B Monument. In 2001 it was upgraded to the highest Scottish monument category A. The church is still used as such today.
history
The designation " New Kilpatrick Parish Church" does not refer to the fact that an older building has been replaced, but to the split of the Parish Kilpatrick into a Parish Old Kilpatrick in the west and New Kilpatrick in the east in 1649. It is therefore the Parish Church of the Parish of New Kilpatrick . Around 1650, a previous building was built on the site of today's church. This was demolished after age-related damage occurred after around 150 years of use and replaced by the current building. The construction was completed in 1808 and comprised a simple building with an approximately square floor plan without aisles . In 1812 a leaded glass window was installed, which is described as particularly valuable. The existing building has been expanded several times since its completion. The east aisle dates from 1873, the west is twelve years younger. In 1880 the central nave was extended and later the chancel was moved to an extension in 1909. In 1972, an anteroom was added.
description
The New Kilpatrick Parish Church consists of a central nave with two aisles. It is surrounded on almost all sides by a cemetery, where the mausoleum of the Campbells of Succoth is worth mentioning. However, the cemetery currently in use is a few hundred meters to the east and was built on a section of the Antonine Wall . The building ends with gable roofs that are worked with stepped gables . The lead glass windows, whose greatest importance is emphasized, have a high proportion of the classification in category A. In addition to the window from 1812 by Stephen Adam and Alf Webster, there is also the motif of the Good Sarmaritan from 1884. The lancet windows were designed by Douglas Strachan .
