Christ Church Episcopal, 118 Trinity Road, Edinburgh

Christ Church Episcopal, located at 118 Trinity Road in Edinburgh, was designed by John Henderson in 1854. This simple Gothic church was converted into a private house by Gordon and Dey in 1980. The building features a three-bay aisleless nave and a one-bay chancel, with a south-facing entrance porch and a small spired tower at the southwest corner. An organ chamber was added to the southeast in 1882, and a north aisle and vestibule were added in 1889 by Thomas Leadbetter. The structure is built from grey Fife sandstone that is squared and snecked, with Craigleith ashlar dressings.

On the southeast elevation, the three bays include a chamfered pointed-arched doorway leading to the gabled porch on the left, which has a hoodmould with label stops carved as male and female masks. To the right is the projecting gabled south transept, which houses the organ chamber; the pointed arched opening now reveals the floors of the modern house. The central bay features a cusped mullioned bipartite window set in a Tudor-arched opening.

The west elevation showcases a three-light window with a circle of mouchettes in the gable. A small tower with a square base is continuous with the gable wall, rising to an octagonal belfry that has trefoil openings for the louvred bell chamber. Winged animals are carved under the cornice of the finialled stone spire, and a male mask is positioned at the intersection of the roof and tower.

The north elevation includes a flat-roofed projecting north aisle made of paler sandstone, featuring three rectangular tripartite openings with trefoil cusped windows, along with a smaller window on the return to the west. There is also a projecting additional building with a buttressed chimney to the left.

The roof is covered with grey slate, which is scalloped on the entrance porch. The stone coped skews are cross-finialed and have sawtooth detailing, with gabletted terminations on both the porch and the south transept.
