Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church with origins in the 13th century, significantly altered and largely rebuilt between 1818 and 1821, with further restorations in 1890 and a vestry added in 1894. It is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with dressed stone bands to the rebuilt tower, aisles, and south porch. Ashlar dressings are present, and the roofs are slate covered.

The west tower is of three stages and features a chamfered plinth, quoins, a lancet window to the first stage, a circular window above, a moulded string course, round-headed belfry openings, a moulded cornice, coped battlements, and crocketed finials. The main body of the church consists of a 4-bay aisled nave with a south porch and a north vestry, and a 2-bay chancel. The south aisle has quoins, square-headed windows with 19th-century tracery, a pointed west window with intersecting tracery, dripmould, and headstops, plus an east door and a square-headed window with Reticulated tracery. The north aisle mirrors this with 2- and 3-light square-headed windows, also with 19th-century tracery. The clerestory features triangular-headed 3-light windows on the north side. The chancel has square-headed 2-light windows and a pointed 3-light past window with early Perpendicular tracery, dripmould, and headstops. The south porch contains a moulded pointed outer door and a pointed double-chamfered inner door.

Inside, the north arcade features pointed double-chamfered arches on octagonal piers, cylindrical outer piers, a keeled east respond, and a filleted west respond. The later 13th-century south arcade has double-chamfered arches on filleted quatrefoil piers with keeled responds. Capitals and bases are plainly moulded throughout. Also visible are a 19th-century chancel arch, a tower doorway, and segmental-headed openings into the south aisle. A Decorated aumbry is located in the chancel. Fragments of 14th to 16th-century stained glass are incorporated into the east window and aisles. Monumental inscriptions include a 1759 slate and ashlar wall tablet to Rev John Farrand, featuring a broken pediment, urn, and carved cherub's head base, and a 1770 marble monument to Mary Farrand, with a coat of arms, urn on a pediment, and crafted by J Wallis of Newark.
