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]
