A church reconstructed with financial support from the Board of First Fruits (fl. 1711-1833) representing an important component of the ecclesiastical heritage of County Wexford with the architectural value of the composition, 'a plain small structure' repurposing a later eighteenth-century church erected (1772-5) to an anonymous design (Leslie 1936, 248), confirmed by such attributes as the nave-with-entrance tower plan form, aligned along a liturgically-incorrect axis; the "pointed" profile of the openings underpinning a contemporary Georgian Gothic theme with the chancel defined by a restrained "North Window"; and the polygonal pinnacles embellishing the tower as a picturesque eye-catcher in the landscape. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior "improved" to a design by Joseph Welland (1798-1860), Architect to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners (appointed 1843; RCB), where contemporary joinery; restrained wall monuments; and the vibrant Pinnions-Roark Memorial "North Window" produced (1962) by Irish Stained Glass (established 1957) of Dublin, all highlight the artistic potential of the composition: meanwhile, an exposed timber roof construction pinpoints the engineering or technical dexterity of a church making a pleasing visual statement in a rural village street scene.

History
Dated 1877 and by T.M. Lockwood, architect of Liverpool. It was built for Andrew Wood, an anchor-manufacturer from Saltney, Flintshire. It re-opened as municipal offices in 1937, and a plaque in the entrance hall records its opening by David Lloyd George.
Exterior
A Domestic-revival style former country house of 2 storeys and attic. Walls are snecked rock-faced stone with freestone dressings, under steep tile roofs on overhanging eaves and with prominent lead finials and rock-faced stone stacks. The main house forms a rectangular double-depth block which has separate roof spans for each elevation. Offset in the middle above the entrances, is a higher near-square lantern with bands of glazing in each face and a steep hipped roof with finial (bearing the date 1877) and weathervane. Windows are mainly 2-pane horned sashes in freestone surrounds, and the upper storey windows have a moulded sill band. Main elevations retain original cast-iron rainwater heads and downpipes with lozenge-pattern decoration.
The main entrance front faces SW and is asymmetrical of 7 unequal bays. The entrance is R of centre in bay 5, in the centre of a lower 2-storey section of 3 bays. It has a lean-to timber-framed half-glazed porch on a stone dwarf wall. It has turned angle posts, and moulded mullions and transoms to leaded glazing. Central double doors have boarded panels, and their mullioned overlight incorporates a central cusped circle. The bays R and L (4 and 6) have pairs of windows with replacement pivoting lights, and single windows above flanking a triple sash window over the porch. The wider gabled R end bay (bay 7) has 2 sash windows of 2 over 1 panes, flanking a central buttress. The 1st-floor oriel window is on freestone corbelling incorporating a foliage frieze. It has 2 segmental-headed sash windows, above which are 4 freestone mullioned panels with flowers in high relief. The oriel has a lean-to roof, above which the freestone gable is panelled with low-relief foliage and lozenge patterns and incorporating a round central panel. Bays 2 and 3 on the L side of the entrance section are higher, 2 storeys and attic, with gambrel roof over bay 3. Bay 3 has paired sash windows in ground and first floors, and paired sashes to an attic half-dormer under a lean-to roof against a set-back gable with disc-pattern freestone panel. Bay 2 is narrower, with single sash windows in ground and 1st floors, and attic skylight. The 1st bay is higher, wider and gabled, and balances the R end bay. It has a coped gable on moulded kneelers. Ground and 1st floor have 2 windows, and the attic has a 2-light mullioned window with sashes, beneath a pointed tympanum with freestone panelling of foliage and lozenges in similar style to bay 7, and moulded sill band with foliage stops.
The asymmetrical SE front is 4 unequal bays. It has a lean-to veranda against bays 3-4, on turned wooden posts on stone bases, and simple brackets. At the ends it has trusses with openwork tracery. The R end has stone steps. The central full-height canted bay window (bay 3) has replacement French doors and glazing in the ground floor. It has a wooden 3-light mullioned-and-transomed window to the 1st floor, which has leaded glazing above the transom. The bay window has a lean-to roof against a panelled gable with finial, similar to the freestone gables of the entrance front. Bay 1 has a replacement floor-length cross window, and bay 2 a glazed door (originally opening to the conservatory that is shown here on the 1889 Ordnance Survey), below 2-pane sash windows on the 1st floor. The ground-floor windows open to a former terrace. In the 4th bay is an external stack.
The NE front mirrors the SW front in its overall structure, although the details differ and there are only 2 bays in the lower entrance section. The 2-storey entrance section has a pointed arch with continuous chamfer and hood mould. It has a pair of contemporary wrought-iron gates with overthrow. Inside the porch is a boarded door with strap hinges, and side and overlights with wooden mullions and transoms and leaded coloured glass. Above, the entrance bay has 2 sash windows. The narrow bay on its L side has single sashes. The 1st bay is a broad full-height canted bay window with 2 sashes, under a steep hipped roof with ornate finial. The 4th and 5th bays have a higher roof line, with hipped roof over the 4th bay. In the ground floor bay 4 has a broad canted bay window with parapet and 2 sash windows. Above are 2 windows and a single window to a hipped half-dormer with moulded brick finial. Bay 5 has single windows and a similar half-dormer with finial. The wider gabled bay 6 has 2 windows in ground and 1st floors. Its 3-light mullioned attic window incorporates 8-pane sashes, under a pointed arch with hood mould and freestone panelled tympanum similar to those of the front elevation.
The NW side has 1-storey advanced wings. Above them, the main range has a central 3-light mullioned attic window with raised eaves, and a lean-to roof against a panelled freestone gable with finial. The 1-storey projections comprise 3 parallel 1-storey ranges, of which the central is higher, under a gambrel roof, and has 4 skylights in its SW roof slope. The SW front is 3 bays. It has an altered central bay, now the main entrance to council offices, with glazed doors and a high entrance canopy. The R-hand bay has 2 cross windows of frosted glass, under a steep timber-framed gable with incised sun and foliage patterns in the plaster, and with ridge tiles and moulded finial. The L-hand bay has 3-light mullioned and transomed window with fixed lights, with lean-to roof against a steep gable with raised eaves, moulded finial and ridge tiles (the gable may originally have been decorated similar to the R-hand bay but is now blank render). The opposite 3-window NE side has irregular fenestration. On the L side is a 3-light mullioned window incorporating 8-pane horned sashes. It is framed by a steep hipped roof with finial, subsidiary to a broader hipped roof with finials. Next R is a 2-light broad mullioned window with replacement glazing, and similar 1-light window to the R end. A stack is L of centre.
Interior
Entrances from the SW and NE fronts have vestibules with half-glazed screens and doors, incorporating leaded coloured glass. The overlight to the SW main entrance incorporates an 'AW' monogram.
A central full-height entrance hall has a panelled wainscot and moulded door surrounds with panelled boarded doors. A freestone Gothic fireplace in the SE wall has a segmental arch and foliage cornice, above which are 3 foliage panels, the central incorporating in raised letters 'AW 1877', the L-hand 'GSW' and R-hand 'PW'. The overmantel is on corbelled shafts. An open-well stairway on the NW side of the hall has turned and relief-moulded newels, turned balusters on a moulded string, and panelled dado. The stairway is top-lit and separate from the lantern over the hall. The lantern has moulded brackets on corbels, supporting etched glass panels.
The 1st floor has a 4-sided gallery on corbelled brackets, with panelled front incorporating open quatrefoil panels below balusters. Facing the stair the gallery has a 3-bay screen of turned posts to bracketed relief-moulded timber lintel. Above the gallery is a string course and corbelled moulded brackets to the central lantern. The lantern has leaded glazing with coloured glass to upper lights, and panelled sides and ceiling. A 1st-floor corridor leading off to the NW side, and a small lobby on the NE side, have segmental arches on foliage brackets.

A pity about all the red downpipes! Downpipes do not belong on tower-houses because they hadn't invented them when tower-houses were being built, rain water just cascaded off the roof and the harling encouraged it to keep going down, rather than into the walls! If they do have to be added, then the least one can do is paint them the same colour as the walls!
Tranter states that the lands of Erchless in early times belonged to a family known as de l'Aird or del Ard. Google states that in the 13th century, the Bissetts held Erchless and from them it passed to the Chisholms. Either way, and perhaps both, in 1368 the heiress married the son of Robert Chisholm, a Roxburgh laird who had been appointed Sheriff of Inverness, Justiciar of the North and Constable of the royal castle of Urquhart. Thus the Chisholms, a Lowland family, settled in the Highlands and in due course became a Highland clan, with their seat at Erchless.
The L-plan tower-house seen here and finished in 1623, was built by John Chisholm, Commissioner of the Peace for Inverness-shire. The castle, positioned as it is on an important east-west route across the Highlands via Strathglass and Glen Affrick, was garrisoned by government troops during the 1689 Jacobite rising, during which it was besieged by 500 of Bonnie Dundee's Highlanders. By 1715 however, Roderick Chisholm was leading 200 of his clan at Sheriffmuir, in the cause of the Old Pretender. In 1745 the clan was still Jacobite and the chief's son and 30 of his men were killed at Culloden.
The main line of the family ended in 1838, when the chiefship passed to descendants of the last laird's sister Mary, famous for her attempts to counter the evictions in Strathglass during the sad days of the Clearances. Erchless was finally sold out of the Chisholm family in 1937.
With the addition of a section of guttering downpipe the reversed enlarger lens is now about 350mm from the film plane. This is a work in progress. When I look at extreme macro web sites they talk about things I don't understand, yet.
I am a beginner with limited time and time is the most important resource with this mullarky.
So far the kit for this has cost £20.
I have so much to learn. Advice welcome
Well this is one strange pussy cat , he/she was on the drive of a house I passed while walking when he decided to jump up in a series of leaps and bounds - wheelie bin , a ledge , onto a garage roof , another leap to get onto a hidden flat roof , past two other windows only to stop at this window demanding to be let in . Thing is while he was doing all this gymnastic stuff , a couple of feet from where he started all this the front door was wide open while the owner was emptying/loading the car !!

Getting the curved downpipe for the Ridgeway spark arrestor on this model was tricky, as I wanted to utilize a brick built solution rather than one purely made of tubing. While I still need to massage the curve into place a bit more, I think this string of sausage pieces and hollow studs accomplishes the look nicely.
