Description

Trinity United Reformed Church is a church with a rear schoolroom, built in 1872. The building is constructed of rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof, with the schoolroom extension in header bond brick. The church features a nave with clerestory, aisles, transepts, a west porch, a south-west tower, and a small three-sided chancel. Ancillary rooms connect to the schoolroom. Architectural details include a projecting plinth, bracketed eaves, steep roofs with coped gables. The three-bay aisles and clerestory are distinguished by weathered buttresses and two-light openings with Geometrical tracery to the aisles and plate tracery to the clerestory. The transepts incorporate a rose window and three lancets. The west front has a five-light window above a vestibule, an enriched parapet, a five-lancet window, a porch to the left, and a tower to the right. The two-stage tower has weathered angle buttresses, two-light belfry openings, and a broach spire featuring gabled corner canopies, lucarnes, and an enriched band with grotesque beasts. The schoolroom is designed to a similar style. The interior is faced in polychromatic brick and includes a double-chamfered brick arcade with slender cast iron columns featuring foliated stone capitals and bases; those supporting the transept arches are coupled. There is an arch-braced roof, a contemporary organ, and good stained glass, particularly in the chancel.
