Description
Holy Trinity Church is a church built between 1837 and 1838 by J. Palmer, with the chancel added in 1914 and the top stage of the tower completed in 1938. It is constructed of stone and features a slate roof in the Gothic Revival style. The church has a five-bay nave that includes west transepts and a west tower, while the chancel has a vestry on the north side. The nave is supported by clasping buttresses and features paired lancet windows between gabled buttresses. The transepts also have paired lancets, clasping buttresses, and shallow coped gables. The west front includes lancets on either side of the tower, a pointed west entrance flanked by clasping buttresses, a clock face in a square panel, and an octagonal upper stage with louvered bell openings and a plain parapet. The chancel features flat buttresses that flank an east window with stepped triple lancets. Inside, there is a west gallery with a stair in the north transept, while the south transept has been converted into a baptistry. The roof is supported by arch-braced trusses with decorative panelling, and the chancel has a waggon roof along with choir stalls that feature fine carving.
