Building record MAB13044 - CHRIST CHURCH, HUNTLY

Episcopal church built in the mid-19th Century, designed by Thomas Mackenzie in 1848.

Episcopal church built in the mid-19th Century, designed by Thomas Mackenzie in 1848. It comprises a small tower, a porch, a nave, and chancel, with a small vestry to the rear. The walls are harled with freestone dressings and the roof is slated. The south elevation has three lancet windows in the nave with a smaller single lancet in the chancel. The small entrance porch has a gabled front with a tall, pointed arch doorway. Carved columns attached to either side of the door support a moulded archway. The tower at the southwest corner of the church has a square base section with an octagonal belfry stage topped by a stone spire. Internally the nave has plastered walls and an exposed hammerbeam roof. The ceiling was originally painted in bright colours with stencilled heraldic panels but was subsequently painted over.

The 150-year-old organ was also restored by David Loosely in 2013 and is of national importance. A restoration project launched in October 2014 carried out various repairs, including the removal of cement harling which had been applied to three elevations of the building, probably in the 1970s. A new kitchen and toilet extension were also added.
