Description
Trinity Presbyterian Chapel is a small chapel built in 1817 and rebuilt in 1868, with its side wall facing the street. The exterior features rendered walls painted cream and an artificial slate roof with a tile ridge. The front has two tall round-headed window openings, which contain late 19th-century timber windows with stone sills. At a high level in the center, the chapel name is painted: 'Trinity Calvinistic Methodist Church, built 1817, rebuilt 1868.' Below this is an evidently added porch with round-headed outer and inner door openings, each fitted with double three-panel doors, and small round-headed timber side windows. The porch has a slate roof with a tile ridge that slightly overhangs the name panel.
Inside, the chapel has a plain interior with the pulpit located to the left. There is a full-width set fawr and two blocks of plain pews arranged on a raking floor. The pulpit is designed in a simple mixed Gothic and classical style, featuring a panelled front and side balustrading over a panelled base, with stairs located only on the left. The tall backing to the pulpit consists of four panels with slight pilasters and a simple pediment. To the right of the pulpit is the only memorial, a marble tribute on a dark background dedicated to those who fell in the Great War.
