Description
Trinity Methodist Church is a church located on Marine Road West in Morecambe, with its foundation stone for the meeting rooms laid in 1883 and the main church completed in 1897 by Samuel Wright. The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone and features slate roofs. The west front showcases tall pointed windows beneath a central gable, with six windows on the ground floor and five above lighting the gallery. To the left, there is a lower two-storey canted porch with one window on each floor and two windows above a central doorway. To the right of the facade stands a projecting four-stage tower, which has a round-headed doorway on the ground floor and a lancet window above. The third stage of the tower is blind, while the bell stage features lancet bell openings flanked by octagonal corner turrets topped with lead spirelets, including a central slated spirelet. The south wall, facing West Street, includes lancet windows and three gables, along with a fourth lower gable for the meeting rooms on the right.
Inside, the woodwork is made of pitch pine, and the gallery is supported on three sides by fluted cast-iron columns. Similar columns at gallery level support arcading running east-west, with additional transverse arches, which also appear to be of iron, spanning above the gallery. An organ is located at gallery level on the east side, with a raised preaching desk below. Later 20th-century alterations include the insertion of a part-glazed partition wall beneath the west gallery and a suspended ceiling in the main church.
