Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1842 by George L Jackson. It features coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The church is designed in the Early English style, showcasing a nave with a west tower and a chancel that includes a north vestry.

The exterior consists of a 4-bay nave and a narrow chancel. The chancel has three south-facing windows and stepped east lights with cinquefoils in the spandrels. The nave's paired lancets have head and ballflower stops to the hoodmould on the sill string. The tower is supported by buttresses that reduce to angle buttresses on the upper stages. It features a ballflower-stopped hoodmould over a pointed-arched west door, a lancet window in the second stage, a roundel in the third, and arcaded triple lancets in the fourth stage, with the outer arches being blind, all beneath a parapet with corner pinnacles. The roofs of the nave and chancel are high-pitched, while the vestry roof has a hipped east end.

Inside, the chancel includes the north vestry, and the nave has a west gallery and a west tower porch. The chancel arch is chamfered on imposts with dog-tooth and roll mouldings. The east window features nailhead-moulded rerearch on nookshafts with trefoil shafts between the lancets, and all windows have sloping reveals. The chancel has a shouldered arch leading to the vestry door and a geometric-pattern tiled sanctuary floor. The painted stone altar displays paintings of the Evangelists in cusped panels. The pulpit and communion rail have been renewed using older posts. The chancel roof is arch-braced, and the nave roof features queen-post construction on roll-moulded corbels.

The stained glass includes an east window dedicated to the Scott family from 1864 and 1882, and the chancel's south window has three lights commemorating Agnes Collingwood, who died in 1875, and Sarah Thompson, who died in 1866, featuring Christ the Good Shepherd, Faith, and Hope, signed by Alex Gibbs from 21 Bloomsbury Street, London WC. The nave's southeast window, also signed by Alex Gibbs fecit in 1901, commemorates Collingwood, the rector who died in 1898. Additional 19th-century glass in the nave includes a window on the north side depicting the Good Samaritan in memory of Charles Pickersgill, the owner of the Crown Road shipbuilding yard.
