Its ceiling paintings are by Frederick Leach,[4] whilst the friezes on the chancel arch and much of the stained glass in the building are by Burlison and Grylls.[1] A Wordsworth and Maskell organ was added in 1884, whilst the reredos shows an Annunciation and Crucifixion flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist, surrounded by the eleven post-Easter apostles and Paul of Tarsus.[1]

The church and its parish hall were Category A listed in 1965,[5] whilst the church was restored in 2011.[6] Its archives are held at Dundee City Archives and Dundee University Archive, Records Management and Museum Services.[7]
