Trinity Green (Almshouses And Chapel) Including Gates, Railings, Wall And Piers

The Trinity Green Almshouses and Chapel, along with their gates, railings, wall and piers, date to 1695. The complex consists of two rows of cottages facing a central courtyard, with a detached chapel at the north end. The buildings are constructed of red brick with tiled roofs. The cottages are generally one storey high with a basement, and feature a wood block and bracketed eaves cornice. Pediments are present over the third pair of cottages from the north in each row, which slightly project and have brick rusticated quoins. Entrances are coupled and sheltered by wide hoods supported on carved brackets. The windows are flush-frame. The facades facing the main road are two storeys high, with ground-floor windows featuring stone architraves, carved keystones, rusticated quoins, and a stone modillioned cornice with an inscribed central cartouche. Above the ground-floor windows, a brick niche sits beneath a stone architrave within a narrow brick gable, surmounted by a pediment with stone mouldings and vases. The entrance to the courtyard is defined by iron gates with wrought iron railings, stone piers, and a curving brick wall. The chapel is two storeys externally, incorporating stucco with rusticated quoins on the ground storey. The front of the chapel features a modillioned cornice and pediment, with a cartouche of William III in the tympanum. An entrance with a segmental pediment is accessed by a flight of stone steps that curve outwards, with an iron balustrade. A later brick addition is present at the rear, which was patched after war damage. Nineteenth-century ranges at the north end have been demolished. The Trinity Green Almshouses, Chapel, gates, railings, walls and piers form a cohesive group.
