About St Ninian’s

The St Ninian’s Church building was designed by William F McGibbon
and completed in 1886. There is an ‘Early Decorated’ feel to the
building, formerly a three bay gothic church, with an offset, 33m high,
square bell tower and with the bell in situ and in working order.

The tower is crested in finials and stepping parapets,
both dramatic and bold. A plain but dignified aisled nave church, it has
Romanesque columns supporting the pointed arch arcaded aisles, which
lend solidity to its height.

Left empty since 2007 when the church was sold to a developer for residential use, the church is now in need of much TLC in order to halt any further deterioration. Sold again in August 2019 at auction to a private individual, the church is now in the hands of Kirsty-Anne Pugh who has plans to restore the church, enabling her to be once again used as a celebratory venue and champing experience.
