There are no remains of the 17th century church to be seen, and the 19th century church is now a ruin. The graveyard is still in use and contains several 17th century gravestones. Old Parish Church, 1826-7, James Dempster. The first church on this site was erected in 1643-4 after the parish boundaries had been redrawn and the centre of the parish moved from Levengrove Park, Dumbarton. In 1826 a second church was commissioned. A battlemented and long-pinnacled tower with its bracing gable, each diagonally buttressed, are all that remain of Dempster's Perpendicular Gothic. Bombed in 1941, the church was razed in 1954 to an elevated lawn at sill height, a commemmorative strategy that has proved wholly successful. More personal memorials are gathered in its shadow, including two identical mausoleum enclosures, castellated and gunlooped, on the western margin of the burial plot. #architecture #ruin #dronephotography #church #cwgc
