Trinity Methodist Church

The red-brick Victorian chapel on Winsford's high street stops you in your tracks. Trinity Methodist Church is that sort of place - proper solid, with the kind of ornate stonework and tall sash windows that tell you someone took real pride in its construction back in 1887. You can peer through the glass doors to see the original wooden pews and a ceiling that's clearly had some love lavished on it over the years.

It's not a massive tourist draw, and that's rather the point. This is a working Methodist community, so respect that straightaway - opening times aren't always obvious from the street, and you'll want to ring ahead or catch someone on a Sunday morning if you're keen to look inside properly. For architecture buffs with an interest in Victorian nonconformist chapels, it's worth the detour from the town centre. Kids won't be hanging about for long unless they're genuinely into that era of building design.

If you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks - Yellowstone in Smallwood, New Farm Cheshire Holidays, or Fishpool Farm are all within easy reach - this makes for a gentle half-hour wander into Winsford on a quiet afternoon. Pair it with a walk round the town's canal basin, which has rather transformed itself in recent years. Not essential, but if you're spending a week in the area and fancy mixing in some local history alongside the leisure parks, you could do worse. The commitment required is minimal; the satisfaction depends entirely on whether Victorian chapels speak to you.
