Description
The Church of Holy Trinity is a Grade II* listed church located on Church Road, built in 1794 by architect J. Hope, with the chancel added in 1911 by Sir C. Reilly. The church is constructed of stone and has a slate roof. It features a five-bay nave with a band over the ground floor, a top cornice, and a parapet with balustrading above the windows. The windows are arranged on two levels; those at ground floor level are segmental-headed, while the upper level windows are round-headed with small-paned fixed glazing.
The west tower includes large obelisk-form buttresses made of concrete, likely from the 1911 renovation. The original west entrance has been converted into a window, with a round window positioned above it. The tower also features panels adorned with swags and a diamond-faced clock, along with a truncated spire. A low porch is located on the north side.
The east end of the church has been extended and resembles the rest of the building, with north and south entrances and windows above that feature architraves, friezes, cornices, and lattice-pattern glazing. The east end is highlighted by a bowed bay with three round-headed windows and low flanking bays.
Inside, the church has a west gallery supported by quatrefoil iron columns. There are stucco snags below the upper windows, which originally housed galleries on the sides. The ceiling is flat with a central rose. The tower includes a baptistry with a saucer dome and a shallow font on a round base. The chancel is flanked by internal porches with flat pilasters that transition into antae above the porches. The entrances are adorned with pediments and panels that support urns, with organ pipes situated behind them. The apse features panelled pilasters and a lattice-pattern vault. The interior also includes early 19th-century choir stalls, a pulpit, and a lectern, showcasing Reilly's distinctive architectural style.
