NT 33378 64209 AOC Archaeology Group carried out a BASIC historic building recording survey to ALGAO (2013) standards prior to the development of Newtongrange Parish Church, Midlothian. The work was required as a condition of the planning consent on the development.
The church is an example of pre-war protestant church design with similar examples seen across Scotland and the rest of the UK. Designed to be a functional place of worship with its associated hall acting as a focal point for the local community. The church remains largely unchanged from its original form bar the addition of the buttressing in 1945. Internally the church retains a few notable features including a brass memorial to the fallen parishioners in The First World War, a memorial to the first minister of Newtongrange and some fine stained-glass windows. No further historic building recording is recommended to be undertaken prior to the onset of development.
