Description

Trinity Congregational Church is a classical chapel built in 1828, located on the east side of St Matthew's Road. The main front features two storeys with three windows, constructed from stock brick and adorned with a stucco entablature that includes the name "TRINITY CHURCH" in the frieze, topped by a peaked blocking course at the center. The central bay is recessed, and there is a prostyle porch supported by square outer and fluted inner Doric columns, accessed by four stone steps. The entrance consists of a plain double door with long panels. The sash windows, which have glazing bars and margin lights, are set within two-storey round-arched recesses, with gauged brick arches above—round arches above and segmental arches below. To the right, there is a set-back two-storey extension with three windows, featuring moulded window architraves. The left return has four bays with windows similar to those at the front, but with panels between the floors instead of recesses.
