Listed A

Here's a blip of the local 'A' listed Craigsbank Church, built in 1966.

Craigsbank Parish Church is an outstanding near-windowless, square-plan flat-roofed Modernist church with a semicircular entrance and open bell tower, formerly with a moat. It is a striking, innovative and unique later 20th century church design. Its enclosed form and sunken nave reportedly inspired by the ‘Conventicle’ church and the hillside hollows used by the covenanters in the 17th century.

The striking form of the building is a welcome contrast to the pitched roofs of the surrounding domestic properties. This church represents the best of post-war church design in Scotland during the 1960s and can be included among a small group of innovative, sculptural compositions for the Church of Scotland which are emphatically modern in their conception.

Other highlights of today were visiting my GP to have my shoulder checked and more Tramadol!

Hope Tuesday has been good to you.
