Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built between 1841 and 1842 by George Jackson. It is constructed of dressed stone with a purple slate roof and is designed in the Early English style. The church features a west tower with a spire, an aisleless nave, a south porch, a chancel, and a north vestry.

The west tower has a square-plan lower stage with a gabled west side, which includes a pointed doorway adorned with colonnettes, a loop, and a blind trefoil in the gable. The lower stage's roof transitions into an octagonal clock tower, while the octagonal belfry has trefoil-headed bell openings, each topped with a crocketed gablet. The tower culminates in an octagonal spire with a finial. The nave has four bays, featuring a plinth, a moulded sill band, and recessed bays between buttresses, which contain single lancets and corbel tables. The west and east ends of the nave are supported by clasping buttresses that are topped with octagonal turrets with spirelets. There are single lancets flanking the tower and pierced trefoils flanking the chancel roof. The south doorway is shouldered and located within the porch, which has a steeply-pitched roof with coped gables.

The small three-bay chancel has a plinth, sill, and eaves bands, with three lancets on the south side and three stepped lancets under a hoodmould on the east end, which is angle-buttressed. The chancel also has a steeply-pitched roof with a coped east gable. The gabled porch features clasping buttresses and a pointed doorway with colonnettes, along with corbel tables on the returns. The two-bay gabled vestry includes a boiler-house in the basement, a pointed east door, and two-light mullioned windows above.

Inside, the church is plastered, featuring a pointed double-chamfered chancel arch supported on moulded corbels. The nave has an elaborate roof with six king-post trusses and a hammerbeam truss at the west end; alternate trusses are decorated with arched braces and pierced trefoils in the spandrels. The font, dating from 1853, has an octagonal bowl on a squat pier with a moulded base. The rood screen, made of carved oak, was added in 1855 and features drop tracery and cresting. The stained glass includes the chancel east window and a south window commemorating a cholera outbreak from 1849, both created by Wailes; a nave south window inspired by Hunt's 'Light of the World' from 1911 by Wailes and Strang; and additional windows from 1977 by Selwyn Beattie and from 1969 by L.C. Evetts.
