Leslie Parish Church

Description (exterior)

The church is rectangular on plan and is surrounded by a fairly large graveyard. It is aligned east-west and is a simple building. The church was built with large, coursed blocks of roughly-tooled granite. The roof is slated and has two metal vents on the ridge line.

The principle elevation, the west gable, is tall and fairly narrow. There is a central rectangular doorway, with a plain door and fanlight above. Flanking the door are two small rectangular windows with stained glass. Above, at gallery level, is a large rectangular window. Mounted on the apex is a large bellcote. It is ornate with moulded details, corbelled cornice and gableted finial. It is dated 1635 and has been re-used from an earlier church on the site. Attached to the gable is a simple, granite WW1 memorial. 

The south elevation is simple, with two large central windowss. They are rectangular with fairly large panes of glass. The eastern one has stained glass. The east gable has a blocked central doorway and there is a rectangular (almost square) window above with stained glass. A simple stone finial stands on the apex. The north wall is blank and featureless.
