Basic Site Details | Name: | St Margaret's Church | | Town, district or village: | Tollcross | | City or county: | Glasgow | | Country: | Scotland | | Parish: | | | Status: | | | Grid ref: | | | Notes: | ST MARGARET’S CHURCH TOLLCROSS, near Glasgow. The accommodation of this church is for 322. The cost is £2,203 exclusive of fees, but inclusive of all else. A local red sandstone is used inside and out ; interior walls rough two-coat plaster and stone dressings. The roofs are white pine, and covered with Peck's tiles. The finishings are yellow pine ; choir steps and pulpit of stone. The font is placed in the jamb of the choir, by request. The details of screens and stalls are exceedingly simple, and the pulpit is merely composed of two or three courses of ashlar enriched by a text. At a small outlay I tried to touch up the gasfittings and make them look interesting. That, with a few texts on the greenish stained woodwork in white, is all the decoration I had money for.
W. G. Rowan, Architect.
