Vestry And Halls, Including Session House, Trinity Church, Brougham Place

The building comprises a church dated 1843, with subsequent remodelling and extensions in 1872, and later halls added in 1896 and the late 20th century. It is roughly T-shaped, with a plain, gable-fronted church, piend-roofed transepts, and some Gothic detailing. The church is constructed of roughly coursed whinstone with painted, droved sandstone ashlar dressings; tabbed margins and raised cills to the north, south, and east elevations. Elsewhere, it uses squared yellow sandstone with tooled ashlar dressings and raised cills, featuring long-and-short quoins. Pointed-arched windows are set within chamfered margins on the west and east elevations, while the transepts have bipartite, stone-mullioned windows. The remaining windows are predominantly regularly placed, rectangular ones with central glazing bars.

The west elevation has a gable with a central timber-panelled door and a multi-pane rectangular fanlight within a chamfered, corniced architrave bearing the date 1843. Above the door is a Y-traceried, transomed window, flanked by lancet windows, all with hoodmoulded margins, topped by a pinnacled gable. The four-bay east elevation features two Y-traceried windows centrally, and smaller rectangular windows to the left and right. The south elevation includes a secondary entrance to the far left and a single-story, gabled session house/vestry wing with a gabled porch set into the re-entrant angle.

The interior primarily features lightly stained, fixed, rectangular-paned, leaded lights, with stained-glass windows on the east elevation. The session house has predominantly 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered in grey slate, with ashlar-coped, kneelered skews and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside the church, the T-plan layout includes sloping galleries supported by slender, octagonal-section cast-iron columns covering three sides. The walls are tongue and groove panelled to dado height, with plasterwork above. There are plain pine pews and a timber side stair leading to a bow-fronted timber pulpit with blind Gothic arcading and linenfold panels. An early-20th-century timber Binns organ is positioned behind the pulpit. Other features include a Gothic-style timber Communion table, chair and font, timber-panelled doors, plain timber-boarded floors, decorative cornices, a flat ceiling with three large circular decorative plasterwork vents, and a stone stair with timber balustrade leading to the galleries. The vestry has a Lincrusta frieze.

The halls, dated 1896, comprise a gabled block attached to the southeast corner of the church on a steeply sloping site, with a later, single-story extension added in the late 20th century. They are built of squared yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings. The south (Brougham Place) elevation has a two-leaf timber-boarded door and a two-pane fanlight within a roll-moulded, hoodmoulded, segmental-arched surround to the left, and a secondary timber-boarded door on the outer right. Two stories are present elsewhere. The windows are predominantly stone-mullioned and bipartite, topped by a grey slate roof, ashlar-coped skews and a gablehead stack with a string course. Internally, the halls have timber-panelled doors, a timber dado panelling, a corridor with services at ground floor, and a main hall at first floor with a queen-strut roof featuring chamfered detailing and ornamental vents to a timber-panelled flat central ceiling.
