Oldhamstocks Parish Church Watch House was recorded by the Threatened Buildings Survey on 3rd August 2022. This modest single roomed watch house was built in 1824. It is built of ashlar with pedimented gables and a gothic window and forms part of the southern boundary wall of the graveyard. When Oldhamstocks Church is sold the Watch House will remain in the ownership of Scottish Borders Council.
Small, single chamber watch house, set in S boundary wall. Droved ashlar with raised base course and eaves course. Doorway at the E end. Pedimented gables to E and W, with weathered plaque in E pediment. Pointed arch window to N at centre with intersecting glazing pattern. Ashlar coped skews and grey slates; stack by W gable. Simple chimneypiece inside at W end. (Historic Scotland)
