Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Grade II listed church located on Lodge Street in Littleborough. It was rebuilt between 1818 and 1820 by Thomas Taylor of Leeds, with the chancel added in 1889 by Crowther. The church features dressed stone and ashlar construction with a slate roof. It has a three-sided gallery plan, a central west tower, and a relatively large chancel.

The five-bay nave includes a weathered plinth and a castellated parapet. Each bay is supported by weathered gableted buttresses that incorporate gargoyles and feature three-light windows with interlaced tracery. The tower, which is flanked by stair bays, consists of three stages with diagonal buttresses. It has a ground-level door, moulded bands, arched openings on the second and third stages, a coped parapet with gabled clock faces, corner pinnacles, and a steeple with lucarnes.

The three-bay chancel is designed in an accomplished Perpendicular style, featuring three-light windows, a priest's door, buttresses with crocketed pinnacles, and a seven-light east window. The chancel roof is steeper and has a higher ridge line than that of the nave.

Inside, the church has a gallery supported by cast-iron columns, arch-braced roof trusses, and a heavily moulded chancel arch. The chancel is lined with red sandstone and features double-hammer-beam roof trusses adorned with angelic minstrels, as well as a piscina and sedilia. The interior also includes timber fittings and stained glass.
