Trinity, Coltman Street was opened in May 1872. Designed by William Botterill, a local architect who was also responsible for the design of a number of Wesleyan chapels in Lincolnshire and the East Riding, it was built in the Decorated Gothic style, in Ancaster stone, and cost £8,000. Soon after it was opened, it was estimated to seat 1195, and this figure rose to 1245 in 1940. The chapel was damaged during World War Two and demolished in 1953, after which the Coltman Street Day Hospital was built on the site.
