Former Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Former Church of the Holy Trinity is an Anglican church built between 1823 and 1825, designed by architect Philip Hardwick. It is now redundant and features an ashlar facade with slate roofs, showcasing a 'Commissioners' Gothic style with Perpendicular details.

The exterior includes a four-stage tower with angle buttresses and a triple chamfered west doorway, which is topped by paired tiered windows. There is a clock and a three-light bell-chamber opening, along with angle pinnacles at the parapet. The north and south doors are located in a narrow bay to the east of the tower, leading to a narthex with stairs to the gallery. Each of these doors has triple chamfered doorways with tiered three-light windows above. The wider nave consists of seven bays separated by buttresses that feature terminal crocketed pinnacles and an embattled parapet, with a three-light tiered window in each bay. The shallow chancel has foiled lancet windows on the north and south sides, a nine-light east window, and a flat-roofed vestry that is part of the original construction.

Inside, many fixtures and fittings were removed around 1997. There is a double staircase leading to the gallery in the western vestibule, which provides access to the gallery on the west, south, and north sides of the nave. The nave has arcades of five bays supported by composite shafts that carry four-centred arches and features a vaulted ceiling. The integral choir consists of two bays with a raised floor level. Wall paintings flanking the chancel arch depict the nativity and the ascension, and the shallow chancel has a vaulted ceiling and an encaustic tiled floor. Despite the removal of some internal elements, this early 19th-century church remains a distinguished and well-detailed example of the 'Commissioners Gothic' style.
