Church Micro 6626...Caddonfoot Traditional Cache

Built in 1860 and opened for worship in February 1861, Caddonfoot Church was designed by Alexander Pringle of Whytbank. The domed timber ceiling and arch over the chancel were added in 1875. The roof shows scenes from the life of our Lord, carved in high relief with flowers, with a sequence that follows the life of Christ from the Annunciation to the Ascension, moving from the Communion table down the nave, each one with appropriate symbols. The impressive decorated oak paneling behind the Communion table focuses on the Resurrection. The stained glass windows behind the Communion table, dedicated to Sir Walter Scott and Lord Inchscape, the father of Lord Craigmyle, are the work of Herbert Hendrie, and depict the heavenly city at the top, with pictures of Christ as the carpenter, on the right, and St Andrew and St Christopher on the left.
