Description
Trinity Methodist Church is a Methodist church built in 1880 by Edward Boardman. It is constructed of brick faced with Kentish Rag and features Bath stone dressings, topped with a slate roof in the Second Pointed style.
The south front, which is liturgically the west side, has a central moulded arched entrance beneath a gablet, featuring double timber doors. On either side of the entrance, there are arched lights that illuminate the narthex, flanked by setback buttresses that culminate in pepper-pot pinnacles. The main window has four lights with bar tracery, and there are three stepped lancets at the apex of the gable. The elevation includes single-storey quadrant staircase turrets on both sides, with stepped-up lancets, providing access to the south-west turret only.
The east and west flanks are characterized by six stepped side buttresses that separate two-light plate tracery windows, and there is a modillion eaves cornice.
Inside, a deep recess in the north wall, behind a moulded pointed arch, houses an organ made by Noterman of London in 1936. The walls are adorned with dado panelling and a frieze of encircled quatrefoils. The timber altar rails are supported by cast-iron and wrought-iron posts. A timber gallery is located at the south end, and the roof features queen-post construction with semicircular braces and arched braces to the wall posts, along with quarter foiled ashlaring.
