Including Boundary Wall And Gatepiers, Trinity Church Of The Nazarene, York Place

The Trinity Church of the Nazarene, designed by Andrew Heiton Junior and built between 1858 and 1859, is a symmetrical church in the French Gothic style. It features a gabled roof and is flanked by a pair of set-back, angle-buttressed square towers topped with tall, pyramidal slated roofs. The exterior is constructed from squared, coursed, and tooled sandstone with ashlar margins, while the rear is made of rubble. Notable architectural details include a base course, hoodmoulds, and moulded architraves, with round-headed and segmental-arched window openings, some of which have stone mullions.

The principal elevation faces south and is accessed by steps leading to a central porch. This porch has a round-arched doorway with a two-leaf boarded timber door and a large traceried rose window above it. Flanking the porch are round-arched window openings. The three-stage towers, which are recessed to the outer bays, feature small arrow-slit windows on the lower stage and two-light windows above. The top stage of the towers is marked by small, corbelled, and gabled belfries with louvred openings, and the eaves are decorated with dentils.

The church has predominantly decorative, coloured glass fixed pane windows and is covered with grey slates. The towers are adorned with tall, pyramidal, bellcast roofs featuring decorative banded fish-scale grey slates, topped with finials.

Inside, as seen in 2009, the space is subdivided, with a worship area that has an open timber roof on the upper level and modernised meeting rooms below. The entrance vestibule includes two curved stone staircases with barley-sugar pattern balusters and timber handrails.

The boundary wall and gatepiers to the south on York Place consist of a low, coped rubble wall. There are central gatepiers that are square in plan, panelled, and feature base courses and pyramidal capstones.
