Stichill United Presbyterian Church was built in 1877, in geometric Gothic style.
The church is built of dark whinstone masonry, with cream sandstone dressings. Built on a simple rectangular plan, there are buttresses on three sides, which add to the Gothic appearance of the building. A single-storeyed hall, built in a similar style, lies to the rear of the church. The side windows are simple, broad lancets, and the front gable contains a four-light traceried window, with flanking buttresses, giving the illusion of aisles. In each of the outer bays of the gable there is a quatrefoil window on the ground floor, with a trefoil-headed lancet at first-floor (gallery) level. The building was disused in 1994.
