Scope and Content Interior, Coldstream Parish Church, High Street, Coldstream, Scottish Borders Coldstream Parish Church, originally built in 1795, was rebuilt in 1906 to plans by the architect, John More Dick Peddie, which incorporated the bell turret and cap of the earlier church. The simple early 20th-century interior was photographed in 1909 by the distinguished architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The interior, designed in a simple Classical style, has a barrel-vaulted nave and side aisles with groin-vaulted ceilings. Tuscan columns on octagonal pedestals support the arches separating the nave from the aisles, and the interior is lit naturally by large, round-headed windows. The first parish church in Coldstream was built on the site of the present church in 1705, but was replaced in 1795 due to 'the state of the church and the weather'. The second church building seems to have been as poor as its predecessor and was rebuilt in 1906 although the building was not ready for use until 1908. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
