Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1844 by Starkey and Cuffley. It features coursed and squared rusticated rubble with Welsh slate roofs. The church is designed in a heavy Romanesque style and includes a west tower, a nave with two aisles, transepts, and a chancel with vestries on each side.
The three-stage west tower has a round-arched doorway with triple stepped shafts and interlaced lancet tracery, topped by a clock. The bell chamber has two-light round-arched roll-moulded windows. The parapet is adorned with heavy strap-work, and clasping buttresses rise to form pinnacles. The western aisle windows are round-arched with chevron moulding that follows the line of the parapet above.
Each aisle is divided into four bays, featuring shallow segmental arches between pilasters, with single round-arched windows that have shafts and chevron moulding beneath a continuous hood mould. The transepts have wider segmental arches for the west windows, and triple light windows on the north and south sides, along with rose windows in the gable apexes. The chancel has gabled vestries, with the south vestry possibly being a later addition. The east windows of the chancel are stepped round-arched with plain moulding, and there is billet moulding along the line of the parapet.
