Description
Trinity Church is a Nonconformist chapel located on Colehill Road in Atherstone. It was built in the early 19th century, with additions made in the mid-19th century to create a Sunday School at the rear, and a late 19th-century one-storey lean-to addition across the front. The building is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a moulded rendered cornice and an embattled parapet, with moulded brick cornices on the return sides. The roof is slate and hipped, and the church is designed in a simple Gothick style.
The structure is two storeys high and has a three-bay front, with a slightly projecting central porch on the Gothic style addition. The porch includes a moulded brick arched doorway topped with a moulded rendered hood mould and double-leaf plank doors. The gable parapet is rendered and coped, featuring kneelers and a moulded terracotta roundel. The left and right bays have a moulded terracotta corbel table, and each bay contains three small straight-headed windows with single rendered lintels shaped like blind depressed ogee arches and sills. The first floor has a slightly projecting centre, and throughout the building, pointed arched iron windows have Gothick glazing, brick arches, and rendered sills.
The return sides of the church have three bays. The left return side features a small two-storey addition at right angles, with a plank door and irregular fenestration. The right return side has a buttress with four offsets, and a two-bay range beyond it includes three-light and two-light wood mullioned and transomed windows with horizontal glazing bars and brick segmental arches. A brick lateral stack is also present.
Inside, there is a gallery supported by cast iron columns on three sides, which are canted across the angles. The mid to late 19th-century panelled front has diagonal boarding, while the fourth side features an upper recess with a large opening of cusped lancets and spandrels with slender shafts. The interior also includes a moulded cornice and a ceiling rose. The church is included for its group value.
