Crichton Memorial Church
10 September 2017
Now a Listed Building Category 'A', the Crichton Memorial Church is built in Gothic cathedral style, the work of the outstanding architect, Sydney Mitchell. The interior is easily the most accomplished work of late Victorian ecclesiastical architecture in the south of Scotland. The wonderfully light and sunny atmosphere is mainly due to the delicate, almost colour-free, leaded glass windows, by the Glass Stainers Company of Glasgow to designs by Oscar Paterson in the style of the Glasgow School. The outstanding oak ceiling with its ornate carved bosses was created by Alexander Tweedie of Annan.
