Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1838 by Joseph Hartley of Runcorn, with a chancel added in 1857. It is constructed of red sandstone and features a slate roof of the Commissioners Lancet type. The church has a rectangular five-bay nave with a west tower, while the later chancel is narrower and less lofty.

The main gothic entrance door is located in the tower, flanked by shafts and topped with a label that has hall flower stops. Above the door are three lancets with cast iron diamond lattice windows, and the bell stage of the tower features paired louvred lancets on three sides. The tower is characterized by stop-chamfered piers at the quoins that reduce in size at the bell stage, topped with pyramid pinnacles and a crenellated parapet.

The nave has a projecting plinth and twice-reducing buttresses between each pair of lancets, along with a solid eaves parapet. The chancel contains stained glass in the treble lancet group and the choir windows, while all other windows are cast iron lattice.

Inside, there is a marble reredos, a free-standing oak altar with a matching rail, choir stalls with poppyheads, and an oak pulpit with a stone base. A timber gallery at the west end is supported by round cast iron columns. The roof features five three-post strutted trusses with cusps, exposed purlins, and a plastered raking ceiling. Additionally, there is a wall-mounted stone war memorial.
