Construction of Trinity Methodist Church began in 1899, on a wedge-shaped piece of land which had belonged to Woodland Farm. It replaced an earlier corrugated iron ‘Tin Church’which had been built there in 1887.

The main church was opened on January 2, 1901, less than three weeks before Queen Victoria’s death. It was designed and built by a partnership of Cardiff architects, Jones, Richards and Budgen, in the Victorian Gothic-revival style, in grey-brown stone with bathstone dressings, slate roofs, and some shafts in polished granite.

The building has a cruciform layout, with the altar at the east end, and contains a high quality organ over 100 years old built by Norman & Beard Ltd. The stained-glass windows are the work of H J Salisbury.

A War Memorial stands outside the main door and was dedicated in September 1921, and an inscribed Roll of Honour is displayed in the south-western corner.

The church hall, just beyond the church at the east end, was constructed in grey stone with bathstone dressings, and with dressings and quoins in yellow brick at the rear. The hall was built shortly before the church itself, and from 1897 to the end of 1900 was used for the church services.
