Basic Site Details Name: | St Modoc's Episcopal Church | Town, district or village: | Doune | City or county: | Perthshire | Country: | Scotland | Parish: | | Status: | B listed | Grid ref: | | Notes: | DOUNE.N.B.—St. Modoc's Episcopal Church was consecrated on Sunday by the Bishop of St. Andrews. The plans, as originally prepared by Mr James Brooks, of London, the architect, show a chancel, nave, north transept, north aisle, vestry, tower, and spire, the lower portion of which serves as porch. These have all been erected save the north aisle and tower. The style chosen is that of the early part of the 13th century. The church is built externally of Polmaise freestone, with “random rubble,” droved with rustic face, and internally with Dairsie freestone with rustic face. The chancel is groined throughout. The nave has a waggon roof, boarded on the under side with red and white pine, and divided into compartments so as to admit at some future time of painted subjects. An organ is fitted up in the north transept. The east gable has a three-light window filled in with painted glass. The church measures about 75 feet by 18 feet. The contractors are, for mason work, Mr Jones; and for joiner work, Mr M'Niven, Doune. [Building News 13 September 1878 p277]
