Title

Dollar Parish Church

Description

This is one of only two churches known to have been designed by Sir William Tite, whose architectural practice was mainly concerned with railways. It is Gothic in style and originally T-plan, with nave, north transepts, a tall bell-tower and small corbelled and crenelated angle towers. The chancel was added in 1925 to accommodate the Rushworth and Dreaper organ. The interior has only been altered slightly, with 19th century pews and galleries remaining; the pulpit, chancel panelling, communion table and stalls were designed by J Jeffrey Waddell in 1925-6.


The stained glass includes windows designed by A Ballantine & Son (1910), St Enoch Glass Studios (1949) and the Union Window which commemorates the union of this church and the West Church in 1979. Designed by Jennifer Campbell and Adam Robson, it illustrates the different aspects of caring by the church. The window was executed by Douglas Hogg. The original cartoon is on display in Dollar Museum.
