Description
The Congregational Church and its boundary wall, along with gate piers and gates, are located on the south-east side of Fore Street in Tregony. The church features a plaque dated 1824 and another from 1876. It is constructed from slatestone rubble with granite dressings and has a low-pitched roof with gable ends, showcasing Gothic features arranged in a Classical style. The building has a symmetrical, rectangular plan with later lean-to extensions.
The entrance front faces the street and includes a central entrance with a pointed arched opening, original double doors, and a blind fanlight with intersecting glazing bars. Above this, there is a small circular wheel window flanked by original small paned sash windows within pointed arched openings. The gable is designed as a classical pediment, enclosed by a string course and coping, and is topped with three plain pinnacles over acroteria. A small oval tablet is centrally located and dated.
Each side wall features two pointed arched windows with marginal glazing, likely from 1876, set within pointed arched openings. Inside, the church has pine pews along the sides and in the middle, accessed by two inner entrances. The plain panelled backs of the pews may date from 1876. The pulpit, which has Gothic frontal panels, is reached by a short flight of steps on either side. An organ, previously located in a chapel in Grampound, was installed here in 1971. The gallery, which wraps around three sides of the interior, is supported by wooden pillars painted to resemble marble, and its Gothic panelled front is cantilevered on shaped wooden brackets. The gallery stairs, pulpit stairs, and the backs of the gallery pews by the windows feature chamfered balusters to allow more light.
The boundary wall is made of rubble and includes an entrance to the street, marked by a pair of square granite gate posts topped with pyramidal caps. The wrought iron gates are designed with diagonal crosses on the bottom rail and circles on the lock rail, with curved top rails forming an arch.
