United Methodist Free Church (Trinity Methodist Church). Built 1805 as Wesleyan, rebuilt 1831. In 1956 the Trustees agreed to amalgamate with Station Road Methodist Church to form the Shiney Row Methodist Church. Parts of the building were demolished and rebuilt as Trinity Methodist Church, which opened on June 24th 1972; old photograph shows that present old roughcast building was probably church hall.

Description
Salvation Army Hall. On 1919 OS. Simple brick gable-fronted hall. Recently closed.
An absolutely plain little building devoid of architectural merit, but totally characteristic of the movement which once had building in quite a number of pit villages, and so of considerable social historical significance – probably the last pre-World War I Salvation Army building to survive in the district. Suggested as a contender for Listed Building Status by Peter Ryder.
