Former St Peter's Church
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 9 Mar 2018
This is the former Episcopal church, designed by the partnership of John Kinross (1855-1931) and Harold Ogle ('Tarrybreeks') Tarbolton (1869-1947) and built in 1897-1898. It looks like red brick, but is in fact faced with pink granite blocks the size of bricks. It was converted to housing in 1985. I am surprised that the planners allowed the monstrously incongruous breezeblock box to intrude and obscure the west gable.
