Description

Holy Trinity Church is a church built between 1843 and 1844 by architect R D Chantrell, with a parish room added in 1998-99 by Ferrey & Menim. The church is designed in the Early English style and constructed from gritstone ashlar and re-used limestone, topped with slate roofs.

The building features a three-stage west tower with an attached octagonal stair turret on the south side, a four-bay nave with a south aisle, and a south porch, along with a two-bay chancel. The west tower includes a plinth, buttresses with offsets, and paired lancets in the belfry under a hoodmould with floral stops. It has a corbel table and a low coped parapet, and a flagstaff is present. The nave has a plinth and buttresses with offsets, with two lancets on the east side, each under a hoodmould with face stops to the west and floral stops to the east. The south porch features a pointed door of two orders, with the inner order on nook-shafts, under a hoodmould with foliate stops, and a coped gable topped with a flory cross finial. The transepts have north and south windows of paired lancets with hoodmoulds featuring foliage and face stops.

The chancel includes a plinth, buttresses with offsets, and lancets with hoodmoulds that have face stops to the west and foliated stops to the east. It also has a pointed priest's door with a continuous hollow chamfer and an east window of three stepped lancets under a trefoil light in the gable, which has a raised coped gable and a flory cross finial.

Inside, the church has a re-used medieval nave arcade featuring four pointed double-chamfered arches on quatre-foil piers with filleted rolls. There is a re-used square 13th-century font on a central cylindrical pier surrounded by four colonettes; the font is decorated with paired trefoil-headed blank arches with foliage in the spandrels on three sides, and a central trefoil-headed blank arch flanked by blank lancets, all with foliage in the spandrels. The interior also includes a re-used medieval north transept arch and piscina. At the east end of the nave, there is a fragment of a pre-Conquest cross-shaft with interlace on three sides, while the fourth side is damaged or unfinished. An early 19th-century hatchment is also re-sited within the church. R D Chantrell incorporated much of the medieval fabric from St Faith's Church Hall Garth, which was dismantled in 1843-44.
