Trenta Presbyterian Church is a modest, but attractive building of social and architectural interest, representing the religious centre for the local Presbyterian population. It was originally a simple hall, and a vestry was added in 1902. The hood-mouldings and date-stones provide modest architectural detailing and the leaded quarries and coloured glass add further visual interest and colour.
