Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a church built in 1843 by Sydney Smirke, with an enlargement in 1860. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features slate roofs. The church includes a west tower with a spire, a nave, a lower chancel, a north aisle with a pitched roof, and a north vestry.

The tower is designed with angle buttresses, paired lancet bell openings, and corner pinnacles, along with flying buttresses leading to the stone spire. The west doorway slightly projects under a gable and is moulded with angle shafts, while the tympanum is intricately carved with three angels. The west window of the north aisle, added in 1860, consists of three lights with Geometric tracery. The south wall of the nave features three lights separated by buttresses with pinnacles, and there is a corbel table below a parapet. The nave windows are paired lancets, and the chancel's south wall has a single lancet. The three-sided east end has similar windows, and the vestry's east window contains two pointed lights with a foiled circle at the top. The north wall of the aisle is divided into three bays, with the western bay featuring a doorway that has a trefoiled head and angle shafts within a gabled projection.

Inside, there is a north arcade with four bays, where the pointed arches are plastered and supported by round piers with moulded capitals. At the west end of the nave, a gallery is present, supported by timber posts and featuring a timber front. The king-post roof has curved braces leading to raised tie-beams. The chancel arch is plastered, pointed, and chamfered, while around the apse is a blind arcade of pointed arches that spring from engaged shafts. The octagonal font is decorated with interlaced round arches, and the apse windows contain stained glass from the late 1860s depicting scenes from the life of Christ.
