Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church that was rebuilt in 1881, originally founded as a chapel in 1823. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a two-span slate roof. The building includes a nave with a south aisle, a west tower, and a chancel, predominantly designed in the Early English style. Notable architectural details include a moulded plinth and a chamfered sill band. The nave has five bays with pilasters, and the sill band runs around them. Each bay, except for the east end, contains a large chamfered lancet, while the east end features coupled lancets with hoodmoulds that extend to the pilasters. The south aisle, which has a parallel roof, matches the nave but consists of six bays, overlapping one bay of the chancel. It includes a shouldered priest door in the fifth bay, coupled lancets in the east gable, and stepped triple lancets in the west gable. The two-bay chancel has traceried two-light windows with hoodmoulds and a large five-light east window. All gables are adorned with a small quatrefoil near the apex and a carved stone cross.
The tower, located at the west end of the nave, has three stages and features angle-buttresses on the first two stages, along with a southeast stair turret. It includes an arched north doorway with a moulded surround, an arched three-light west window with Perpendicular tracery, an arched two-light window, and a circular clock face on the north and south sides. The tower also has three-light louvred belfry openings on all sides with Perpendicular tracery in the heads, a dripband, and an embattled parapet.
Inside, the church features a four-bay aisle arcade with two-centred arches chamfered in two orders, supported by quatrefoil columns with moulded caps. The tower arch and organ house arch are similar in design, and there is a deeply-moulded chancel arch. The roof is an arch-braced wagon type. In the chancel, there are two wall monuments dedicated to the de Hoghton family: one for Charles, who died in 1895, and another for Vere, who was killed in action in France in 1915, the latter presented in an alabaster aedicule in Renaissance style.
