Our Lady & St Ninian, Newton Stewart

Handsome late Victorian Gothic church, designed by Goldie & Child with a tall gabled belfry over its picturesque red-painted wooden porch.

A simple Early English Gothic style church, built of grey stone with red sandstone margins to its windows, from 1875-76 to designs of the firm of Goldie & Child of London, prolific builders of Roman Catholic churches across the British Isles, but built by W. & R.S. Ingram of Glasgow. It replaced an earlier smaller building on the same site.

The nave and chancel sit under a single continuous slate roof, the skyline is provided with further interest by the tall gabled stone belfry over the handsome red-painted wooden porch. There is a stained glass rose, window depicting the Virgin Mary as Our Lady Queen of Heaven, dated 1876, and two further late 19th century windows that contain roundels portraying Christ and Mary. There is also a small graveyard to the rear of the building.
