St Leonard's Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland located on Brucefield Avenue, Dunfermline, Scotland.[1]
History
The current church replaced a corrugated iron church which had been built on the site in 1894.[2] It was built between 1903 and 1904[3] and the church hall was completed in 1908.[2] It was designed by Peter MacGregor Chalmers and built in a neo-Romanesque style.[4] It is a rectangular building with a five-bay nave, L-shaped attached church hall[2] and has a circular tower on the east end of the church.[5] A new church hall was built on the north side in 1987.[2]
It is a Category B listed building due to its mixture of Romanesque and early Christian architecture as well as the style of the tower which shares features of early Celtic Scottish churches.[2]
