New Trinity Church And Hall, Chapelwell Street, Saltcoats

New Trinity Church and Hall, built in 1866 and possibly designed by Robert Paterson, is an Italian Gothic style church with an adjoining hall. A hall extension was added in 1906, followed by further extensions between 1969 and 1970. The church is constructed from cream sandstone, laid in coursed layers to the main elevation, with ashlar dressings and restrained polychromy using contrasting red sandstone banding. A base course and chamfered arrises are present, and a four-stage spire rises from the east corner.

The south-east elevation and spire are gabled and three bays wide. A pointed arch doorway is centrally located, with banded voussoirs and a two-leaf door. A stepped string course leads to a three-light geometric traceried pointed arch window above, also with banded voussoirs. The bay to the left has a row of three pointed arch triangular openings at ground level and a lancet window above. The bay to the right features the spire, with a large pointed arch window at the first stage, geometric tracery, gradually narrowing to recessed second and third stages with narrow lights. A further row of three pointed arch triangular lights are present on the respective stages, topped by a splay-footed stone spire, corner pinnacles, and gabled, louvred lucarnes.

The north-east elevation has six bays, with a tower in the outer left bay. Remaining bays have square-headed windows to the ground floor and pointed arch windows lighting a gallery. The hall adjoins to the right.

The south-west elevation mirrors the north-east, apart from the hall interrupting the ground floor. The north-west elevation previously contained two tall lancet windows, now blocked.

The hall is a single-storey, gabled structure connected to the church, forming an L-plan with later additions. The gable facing Chapelwell Street features a four-bay pointed arch arcade at ground level, with an oculus above, both with banded voussoirs. The hall features fixed timber and leaded diamond-pane glazing, including some stained glass. Grey slates cover the roof, and diminutive gabled ventilators are present. Tie plates are visible at the wallhead.

The interior is galleried, with a tiered pulpit and organ case that has blocked several of the original lancet windows. Cast-iron columns support the gallery, which has panelled and fretted timber frontispieces. Stained glass memorial windows, by Biggam (1929), Padkin (1932), Kelso (1946), and Hogarth (circa 1950), are present.

Rubble boundary walls with saddleback coping and iron railings enclose the front of the property. Semi-circular coping tops the taller walls to the sides. Square ashlar gatepiers feature moulded coping and a two-leaf gate.
