Description
Holy Trinity Rectory is a rectory with attached outbuildings located on Trinity Lane, built in 1898 by W.H. Brierley. It features orange-brown mottled brick in English bond, with dressings of orange gauged brick. The roof is sprocketed and made of slate, with overhanging bracketed eaves, hipped cross gables, and a coped end gable supported by brick kneelers. The brick stacks have pilaster strips and moulded cornices.
The front facing Micklegate is two storeys high with three bays, where the centre bay projects and is accented by clasping pilaster strips. The front door consists of three raised panels with an overlight, located in the right return of the centre bay, and is sheltered by a flat stone hood supported by a slim cast-iron post and foliate brackets. The windows on this front are cross windows with casements on the ground and mezzanine floors, and two-light sliding sashes on the first floor. The left bay on the ground floor has paired 12-pane sash windows beneath a continuous flat arch with a painted stone keyblock, next to an 8-pane sash window with a flat arch. The second floor features paired 8-pane sashes in an orange brick surround with a flat arch to the left, and a two-light sash window to the right. Most windows have quoined surrounds with flat arches and gauged painted chamfered stone sills.
The garden front is two storeys with an attic and has a six-window layout on a low chamfered plinth, with the two left end windows set in a projecting gabled wing. Clasping pilaster strips are present on the wing and at the right end of the front. There is a half-glazed door in the right return of the wing, and all windows are 12-pane sashes with painted chamfered sills in quoined openings with flat arches of gauged brick. The attic features two dormers with two-light small pane casements.
The wall along Trinity Lane is approximately six metres high and topped with glazed tile coping. In the centre, there is a quoined Tudor-arched doorway with a panelled door, and the inscription 'HOLY TRINITY RECTORY' is carved in low relief on the lintel. The interior has not been inspected.
