The church stands on Marshall Place at its junction with Scott Street, overlooking the northern end of the South Inch. Built between 1882 and 1885 to a design by J. J. Stevenson, it is now a Category A listed building. A Church of Scotland place of worship, the building is designed in the Gothic Revival style. [2]

Inside, the semi-octagonal apse was inspired by the 15th-century apse of the Church of the Holy Rude in Stirling. [3]
Perth photographer Magnus Jackson had a wooden studio on the site between the 1850s and 1884. [4]
The organ, built in 1881 by the London-based company of Perth native Henry Bryceson, was originally installed in the former Morningside United Presbyterian Church. It was moved to St Leonard's-in-the-Fields in 1985 and installed in a modern ash case. [3]
