Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built in 1792, with additional features added in 1881 by J R Naylor of Derby. It is constructed from red and yellow brick in Flemish bond, with ashlar dressings and a plain tile roof. The church has a west tower, a three-bay nave with a south porch, and an apsidal chancel that includes an organ chamber on the north side. The architectural details are in a Romanesque style, featuring a plinth and quoins at the corners.
The west front showcases a three-stage tower with round-headed windows, the first of which is set on shafted responds. The belfry level is marked by a string course, and the plain parapet is adorned with large gargoyles at the corners. The nave includes a round-headed doorway leading to the porch, along with round-headed windows that are separated by buttresses. The chancel windows display dogtooth detailing.
Inside, there is a monument to Thomas Nelson, who died in 1785, featuring a white tablet topped by an urn on a grey mount, created by Fisher of York. Another monument commemorates Robert Smithson, who died in 1845, consisting of a white tablet on a black mount, made by Waudby of York.
