Description

Trinity Methodist Church is an elaborate chapel built in a mix of Early English and Decorated styles. It features snecked Pennant stone with bathstone dressings and slate roofs. The gabled entrance front faces Four Elms Road and has a deep two-storey arch with stiff leaf capitals that encloses a rose window. Below this arch is the entrance doorway, which has three orders of shafts with stiff leaf capitals, and there is a two-light window on each side. To the left, there is a polygonal bell turret topped with an open-work spire, trefoil windows, and gargoyles. To the right, an elaborate tower includes a bathstone steeple, a polygonal bell stage, turrets with pinnacles, and stepped buttresses leading to a two-stage porch tower with a doorway facing Piercefield Place.

The elevation towards Piercefield Place features a modern vestibule, and to the right is a transept with a five-light Geometrical window. Adjacent to this is the vestry, constructed of bathstone ashlar, which has pinnacled buttresses, a trefoil parapet, and a window with three cusped lights. Behind the vestry is a polygonal apse.

The church was horizontally subdivided during a remodelling in 1978. Inside, it has a double hammerbeam roof and a well-lit apse with coupled colonettes and stiff-leaf capitals. The stained glass in the apse was created by Swaine & Co and features angels representing virtues in the rose window.
