246 Bath Street, St Matthew's Blythswood

St Matthew's Blythswood Church is a church building in Gothic Revival style located on Bath Street in Glasgow. The structure features a northwest tower with a spire, pointed arch windows, ribbed doorway details, and buttressed exterior walls that support the roof.

Architect John Thomas Emmett designed this church building in 1852 during a period of religious construction in Victorian Glasgow. It was built as the city expanded and developed its religious architecture.

The stained glass windows bring colored light into the interior and depict religious scenes that have meaning for worshippers. These decorations reflect how churches were furnished during the Victorian era in Scotland.

The building holds a Category B listed status which means changes to its structure need special approval. Visitors should check locally for opening times and access since the building remains in active religious use.

The interior contains grouped columns with decorated capitals and an arched roof system with carved angelic figures and leaf designs. These carved details show the craftsmanship invested in building the church.
