The Crichton Memorial Church
The Crichton Memorial Church
As a non-denominational church, The Crichton Memorial Church is available for weddings, graduations, concerts and events and has been host to BBC productions such as Songs of Praise and as a film location.
The focal point of the 85 acre estate is the cathedral-style Crichton Memorial Church, designed by Edinburgh architect Sydney Mitchell, 1890-97. The Church features a nave, chancel, transepts and a 123 feet high square tower over the crossing.
The richly detailed exterior is of red sandstone from Locharbriggs and the elegant interior features sandstone from nearby Thornhill.
Inside the church you will find a stunning oak roof and floors of Irish and Sicilian marble under foot and superb furnishings, including a stone carving by William Vickers of Glasgow illuminated by the impressive stained glass by Oscar Paterson of Glasgow.
Regular history tours from Mostly Ghostly Tours take place in the church, the under croft and the crypt.
