Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1839 by Edmund Sharpe, originally served as a chapel within Malpas Parish and became a parish church in 1869. The chancel was added in 1875, and the baptistry replaced the west porch in 1911. Constructed from red sandstone with a slate roof, the church is designed in the Lancet style. It features a single-bay chancel, a three-bay nave, and a small octagonal west baptistry. The east gable end of the chancel has a triple lancet window, while the west gable end of the nave has three separate stepped lancets. Other windows throughout the church are single lancets, all adorned with stained glass and labels above. The church has a cruciform plan, with a vestry projection on the north side and an organ chamber on the south side.

The exterior includes a weathered plinth, clasping buttresses on the chancel, buttresses between the nave windows, and angle buttresses at the corners of the nave. The west entrance features a pitch pine door with a Gothic head and ornamental strap hinges, sheltered by a timber and leaded-light porch framed by a low stone wall. The porch has a timbered and boarded apex with a pitched roof. The gables are finished with copings and kneelers, and the west gable includes a single bell-cote. The baptistry is topped with a pyramidal roof and a cross finial.

Inside, the church boasts an oak panelled reredos and a communion rail supported by three heavily scrolled metal supports. An oak memorial screen with head tracery, surmounted by an oak cross, bears the inscription "Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his friends." The oak pulpit is integrated with the screen. The oak organ case is inscribed "Praise ye the Lord." Additionally, there are a pair of oak vestry doors with tracery heads and inscriptions, an oak lectern, and alabaster memorials to former vicars on the nave walls. The octagonal stone font, covered with wood and metal, is inscribed "one Lord-one Faith-one Baptism-one God and Father-one body-one spirit-one hope." The baptistry features oak panelling up to window sill level, while both the chancel and nave have scissor-braced rafters.
