Description
Trinity Church, built in 1857, is a Gothic church with a rectangular plan and six bays, featuring perpendicular detailing. The main elevation is constructed of sneaked rubble with stugged ashlar. The entrance is located in an advanced central bay, flanked by stepped, pinnacled buttresses. The door is set under a four-centred arch with moulded reveals and a flat hood-mould that has label stops. Access to the entrance is provided by flanking steps with gabled piers and a decorative cast-iron balustrade. Above the door is a large, perpendicular traceried three-light window, which includes a finialled ogival hood-mould and label stops. The church has a square-plan corbelled bellcote topped with a squat, broached spire. The outer bays feature similarly detailed windows. The gable end is coped and has a moulded string course below. Inside, the church has a plain galleried interior, with a clock by J. Aitken Dalry set in the balcony. There are also a pair of stained and leaded-glass memorial windows flanking the pulpit, commemorating Thomas Biggart and dated 1877.
