Description

The Trinity Presbyterian Church of Wales is a building dating from the late 19th century, constructed in the Perpendicular style. It occupies the northeast corner of its site and comprises a nave with aisles, a projecting tower to the west, and an apsidal projection, enclosed by a hall building to the southwest.

The church is built of red Ruabon brick with stone dressings and slate roofs, finished with terracotta crestings. The tower, which contains the entrance, is brick in its lower stages and stone towards the bell-chamber, topped with an embattled parapet and a pyramidal spirelet. The three-bay aisle features three-light windows, an embattled parapet, and a gable over the central, higher window. The tower forms the fourth bay on the west side, balanced by a cross-gabled bay of the aisle to the north. The wide north gable incorporates banded stone and polygonal turrets, topped by a high seven-light window with art nouveau tracery, the principal vertical elements continuing as pinnacles at the gable apex. Windows throughout the church feature simple stained glass employing art nouveau motifs.

The main hall, at a right angle to the church, is located to the southwest and is lit by a five-light traceried window high in its east wall and by paired windows at a lower level. A vestibule and subsidiary rooms are contained in a parallel range facing King Street, which features a central gable with a canted bay window, with the roofs sweeping down on either side over the entrance (to the right) and wood mullioned and transomed windows. Further rooms are contained within asymmetrical rear wings to either side of the hall range.

The site is enclosed by a brick wall with stone copings, gate piers with stone bands and caps and cast-iron gates that incorporate decorative panels with art nouveau motifs.
