Description

Trinity Manse and Gatepiers, located on High Street in Jedburgh, was built in 1870 with additions by J P Alison in 1903. This is a two-storey, three-bay manse made of snecked cream sandstone, featuring polished ashlar dressings and chamfered arrises, with a base course.

The southeast elevation, which serves as the entrance, has a central two-leaf panelled door topped with a rectangular fanlight in a corniced ashlar doorframe. Above the door, there is a window that reaches the eaves, complete with a cill. To the left, a later full-height canted window breaks the eaves, adorned with a moulded cornice on both floors and projecting eaves. To the right, an advanced gabled bay includes large ashlar mullioned tripartite windows on both floors, a moulded string course above the ground floor, and an upper window with a hoodmould that steps over a date plaque marked 1870.

On the northeast elevation, which faces the church forecourt, there is a single broad bay above a raised basement. A door is located at the ground (basement) level, with tall windows above. The church offices are adjacent to the right.

The southwest elevation features a blank rendered gable end to the right with a gablehead stack, and to the left, there is an advanced two-storey, two-bay rendered rear extension, likely by Alison. The ground floor has a large kitchen window to the left and a single window to the right. On the first floor, there are a pair of timber mullioned bipartite corner windows and a cill course.

The northwest elevation displays an irregular rendered rear facade of the addition, with a bipartite window at the centre of the ground floor and a wallhead stack above it. A back door is located to the left, while a corner window to the right on the first floor and a single window to the left complete this side. This elevation adjoins the rear of the church offices to the left.

The windows throughout the building are plate glass timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring flat ashlar skews and moulded skewputts on the front gable. The rendered stacks have ashlar facings and copings, with some original octagonal cans. Cast-iron downpipes and rainwater heads are present on the front.

Inside, the decoration is simple.

The boundary wall and gatepiers are situated along High Street. The gatepiers are square, made of stugged ashlar with flat pyramidal caps, similar to the church, while the wall is rendered with flat ashlar coping.
