Description

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, located on Seafield Avenue in Keith, was designed by Alexander Ross from Inverness in 1882. This Gothic, cruciform church features a tower and is constructed of rubble with contrasting tooled sandstone dressings and margins.

The principal entrance is situated at the base of a three-stage tower on the southwest side. It includes a pointed-headed hoodmoulded doorway and wide pointed-headed louvred openings in the upper stage, which are adorned with stiff leaf capitals on the nook-shafts. The tower also has a corbelled wallhead, angle water spouts, a parapet, a pyramidal slate roof, and an apex cast-iron weathervane. The east gable is highlighted by triple stepped lancets beneath a continuous hoodmould, while the west gable features a substantial window with geometric tracery. The flanks of the church have single and paired lancets across seven bays, and tall narrow lancets are present in the transepts. The roofs are finished with slate and topped with cross finials.

Inside, the entrance lobby is located at the base of the tower. The nave and chancel boast an open timber roof, with principal rafters supported by corbel stones, and there is some stained glass present.

The church is enclosed by coped rubble walls, which are low at the street frontage. A pair of slender cast-iron gatepiers flanks the entrance, which is marked by a pair of spearhead cast-iron gates.
