Trinity Independent Chapel

The Trinity Independent Chapel is a building composed of an original chapel dating to 1848, with a substantial front addition made in 1903. The original chapel is a hipped, square structure with two-window front and rear elevations and two-storey sides. The front of the chapel was significantly altered in 1903 with the addition of a large, two-storey gabled projection that largely obscures the original front wall. The projection features a channelled, rusticated ground floor and an entablature below a large centre window on the first floor. This window is a depressed-arched mullion-and-transom with three lights, featuring leaded lights and a moulded surround. Matching surrounds are present on the ground floor doorway, flanked by single-light windows with transoms. The doors are double, five-panel sliding. One window is located on each floor of the projection’s sides, also depressed arched. The original chapel’s front elevations also have similar windows, with those on the ground floor set within slightly projected lean-tos against the sides of the main addition. These windows are two-light with a transom and a single top light. The original chapel's side walls have windows with similar glazing to both floors, and the rear elevation has two small arched windows with glazing from 1903.

Inside, a three-sided gallery is supported by iron columns with lotus capitals. The gallery has curved angles and a dentil cornice below a decorative arrangement of alternate long and short panels, themselves set beneath pierced panels of scrolled cast iron. The long panels are vertically boarded, while the short panels have herringbone boarding under a panel with an incised fan shape. The pews are arranged in three blocks, with the side pews canted or inward-facing towards the pulpit. The broad pulpit platform features similar cast-iron inserts and a shallow-curved pulpit projection in four panels with angle columns. Curving steps with turned balusters and newels, topped with ball finials, lead to the pulpit. A tall, pilastered three-bay feature is positioned behind the pulpit, with pilasters framing two arched windows and a central niche, all with pilaster jambs and moulded arches. A moulded cornice runs overhead, with a ceiling border featuring quadrant rebates in the corners. Timber ribs divide the ceiling into four sections, with a central vent. The lobby has a tiled floor and accesses the gallery stairs, and features a screen with coloured glass in seven panes and top lights.
