Church of the Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built between 1876 and 1877 by C. Hodgson Fowler, with a chancel added in 1886. It is constructed from snecked rock-faced sandstone, featuring ashlar quoins and buttresses, and has steeply-pitched Welsh slate roofs. The church includes a nave, a south porch, north and south transepts, and a chancel, all designed in an Early English style with plate-tracery windows.

The west end of the church has diagonal buttresses and a pair of 2-light lancet windows separated by a stepped buttress, with a quatrefoil in the gable. The south porch features a half-timbered gable with bargeboards. The nave consists of four bays divided by stepped buttresses, with each window containing three stepped lancets set in chamfered reveals beneath pointed hoodmoulds. The single-bay north and south transepts have similar windows. The chancel, which is slightly lower and narrower, has angle buttresses and a large 3-light window at the east end. A square louvred bellcote with a steep spirelet is located at the west end.

Inside, the aisles were intended for the nave, but only the north arcade was constructed, with the north wall abutting directly against it. The arcade features four pointed arches that die into octagonal piers. The nave has a hammerbeam roof, and the chancel arch is double-chamfered and pointed. There are two steps leading up to the chancel, which includes a trefoil-headed piscina in the south wall and a barrel roof. The church also contains two notable stained glass windows: the east window from 1905 by A.L. Moore of London, and a window dated 1927 in the north wall of the nave by A.L. and C.E. Moore of London.

This church occupies a prominent position and is listed partly for its contribution to the townscape.
