_2039 St Catharine's Episcopal Church "<p>This small homely building is in the Romanesque or Norman style and its most prominent feature is the use of slate in the arched windows and door heads.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p><p>It was built in 1921, as testified by the foundation stone in the north wall of the angular chancel apse.&nbsp; The architects were Dick Peddie and Walker Todd.&nbsp; The church was built in such a way that it could easily be extended to the west, which now gives it a strange unfinished appearance.&nbsp; To the south the wooden hall and connecting passage prove a sharp contrast to the stone main building.&nbsp; The church is entered through a beautifully detailed and heavily buttressed porch, under an arched doorway.&nbsp; <\/p><p>Small stained glass windows in the apse provide colour and light.&nbsp; One was donated by Mr G Gould, art master at the Bo&rsquo;ness Academy, and was made by his students.&nbsp; The glass in the west gable depicts the town&rsquo;s main industries &ndash; coal mining, whaling and maritime trade.&nbsp; The stone of the chancel arch is left bare to contrast with the groin-plastered vaulted ceiling of the nave and chancel.<\/p>" Organization "<p>This small homely building is in the Romanesque or Norman style and its most prominent feature is the use of slate in the arched windows and door heads.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p><p>It was built in 1921, as testified by the foundation stone in the north wall of the angular chancel apse.&nbsp; The architects were Dick Peddie and Walker Todd.&nbsp; The church was built in such a way that it could easily be extended to the west, which now gives it a strange unfinished appearance.&nbsp; To the south the wooden hall and connecting passage prove a sharp contrast to the stone main building.&nbsp; The church is entered through a beautifully detailed and heavily buttressed porch, under an arched doorway.&nbsp; <\/p><p>Small stained glass windows in the apse provide colour and light.&nbsp; One was donated by Mr G Gould, art master at the Bo&rsquo;ness Academy, and was made by his students.&nbsp; The glass in the west gable depicts the town&rsquo;s main industries &ndash; coal mining, whaling and maritime trade.&nbsp; The stone of the chancel arch is left bare to contrast with the groin-plastered vaulted ceiling of the nave and chancel.<\/p>" 56.01345 -3.606766
