Gates And Gatepiers, Including Boundary Walls, Renfrew Trinity Church (Church Of Scotland), Paisley Road

The gates and gatepiers, along with the boundary walls, are associated with Renfrew Trinity Church (Church of Scotland) on Paisley Road. The church was built in 1864 and underwent later alterations by W D McLennan between 1902 and 1904. It features a roughly cruciform, simple-Gothic design with gabled roofs and an integral three-stage stairtower that has a polygonal belfry and a spire, which breaks the gable to the left of the entrance elevation. The structure is made of stugged, coursed, and snecked sandstone, with a band course and some chamfered openings that end in a trefoil-type design. There are church halls adjoining at the rear (southeast).

The entrance elevation faces northwest and includes a central, deep-set two-leaf timber door with diagonal boarding and curvilinear tracery hinges, set within a moulded segmental-arched door surround. Above the door are four trefoil-headed windows and a rose window in the gable. A cross finial adorns the apex of the gable. To the left, the three-stage stairtower and spire rise above the church roof level, featuring a slated spire with a finial, carved stone gargoyles at the corners, and small louvred openings at the top stage. The windows are predominantly leaded-pane, with some featuring coloured glass, including some later 20th-century additions. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are raised skews with some gabled skewputts.

Inside, as seen in 2008, the church has a cohesive interior scheme highlighted by a distinctive open timber roof. There are timber panelled galleries on three sides, supported by slender cast-iron columns. The side galleries contain timber pews and boxes, with timber pews throughout the church. Notable interior features include a carved timber pulpit, organ case, communion table, and font, along with some five-panelled timber doors and coloured glass in the leaded-pane windows.

The boundary walls, gates, and gatepiers are located to the northwest. They consist of a low rubble wall topped with metal railings, and there is a pair of square-plan gatepiers with pyramidal caps, along with ornamental metal gates. Additional metal railings are present to the southwest.
