Church Of The Holy Trinity, Crawford Street, Motherwell

The Church of the Holy Trinity, located on Crawford Street in Motherwell, was designed by Miles S Gibson and completed in 1894. This 7-bay church features a plain Arts and Crafts Gothic style with a cruciform plan, oriented north-south. It has a steeply pitched gabled roof with overhanging eaves, a slated timber fleche, and is constructed from squared and snecked red sandstone with ashlar dressings. The gable ends have a continuous cill course, and the church is adorned with lancet windows that have chamfered margins, along with plain barge boarding on the gables.

The east elevation serves as the entrance and consists of 7 bays. It features tripartite lancet windows, except for the gabled porch in the second bay from the left, which has a pointed-arched door and paired lancet windows in the center bay. There is a single tall lancet window in the gabled transept near the penultimate right, and a blind terminating bay on the outer right.

The north elevation showcases tall tripartite, stepped lancet windows with double chamfered reveals and stopped hoodmoulds, along with a hoodmoulded vesica at the apex. The south elevation mirrors the north, while the west elevation mirrors the east.

The church contains leaded glass and stained glass in the gables. The roof is covered with grey graded slates, including ridge tiles and decorative ridge tiles on the chancel, and features cross finials on the gables. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron.

Inside, the church has brick-lined walls with ashlar dressings, a pointed chancel arch, and an open timber beam roof supported by stone corbels. The windows have deep embrasures.

The boundary wall consists of a dwarf squared rubble wall along the street, topped with saddleback coping that rises to gate piers, with later gates and railings.
