Thomas Coats Memorial Baptist Church
Thomas Coats Memorial Baptist Church, Gothic Revival church in Paisley, Scotland
The red sandstone structure features a crown spire rising 60 meters above ground level with flying buttresses along the nave and transepts.
Construction of the church began in 1885 after architect Hippolyte Blanc won a design competition, with completion achieved in May 1894.
The building holds category A listed status and contains mosaics, carved marble, alabaster details, and a vaulted ceiling decorated with paintings of angels.
The sanctuary accommodates 1000 people and currently operates as Coats Venue, hosting weddings, corporate events, and live performances throughout the year.
The William Hill & Sons organ inside the church maintains its original 3,040 pipes, representing one of few unmodified instruments of its kind in Britain.
