S ELEVATION: 2 trefoil-headed windows to left and double lancet breaking eaves into swept gablehead at right.

GABLE ELEVATION with 3-light window set into pointed-arch frame.

W ELEVATION: gabled elevation with 2 tall lancets.

Multi-pane leaded glazing pattern with coloured margins (boarded up for winter(?) 2002). Grey slates. Swept roof with overhanging eaves and plain bargeboarding.

INTERIOR: good decorative scheme in place with hammerbeam roof, fixed timber pews and boarded dadoes. Panelled Chancel with carved pulpit and low fretwork screen.

Statement of Special Interest

Ecclesiastical building in use as such. Services apparently take place fortnightly from May to October. The above-mentioned newspaper article offers two dates for this building, the most probable (it says) being 1866 when Baroness Willoughby de Eresby funded the building of Glen Artney Lodge, Blairinroar and Muthill Schools. Alternatively it gives 1905. The latter is probably correct as the church does not appear on either the First

Edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1861, or the Second Edition of 1901. Stone for the church is thought to have been brought from Doune by railway to Greenloaning Station and then by horse and cart.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
