Church Overview

Distinguished Glasgow architect John Honeyman designed the first Skelmorlie Church (now used as the hall) in 1856, and the present church in 1893 – reputedly one of his best works.  One of his draughtsmen was Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who designed several items including the lamp at the entrance.  The lavishly carved reredos is by John Crawford “our best Gothic wood-carver”, and stained glass windows by Honeyman, Stephen Adam, Douglas Strachan, Edward Coley Burne Jones and others.  The organ, with 3 manuals and 30 stops, was built in 1901 by Binns of Leeds.  The buildings are Grade ‘B’ listed.
