Description
Holy Trinity Church is a parish church built in 1870, with additions made in 1932. It was designed by G.E. Street, with alterations by Sir Charles Nicholson. The church features a nave that includes a south aisle and a north porch, while the chancel has a south transept and a north organ chamber with a vestry. The exterior is constructed of ashlar stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, topped with ashlar coped gables. It has a chamfered plinth and shallow buttresses.
The west front is notable for its central stepped buttress, flanked by two single two-light lancets that have geometrical tracery and transoms. Above the gable, there is a bellcote. The north front includes a projecting gabled porch with a pointed opening, alongside three tall plate tracery two-light pointed windows. To the right is a projecting double-gabled organ chamber, featuring two lancets on the right and a large cross-mullion window on the left, with a tall stack that has set-offs behind it. There is also a low flat-roofed, single-storey vestry addition.
On the chancel's east wall, there is a three-light window with tracery and a hood mould. The projecting south transept has two circular windows with asped tracery on the east side, while the south wall features a single pointed arched opening containing three graduated lancets. The south aisle has three pairs of small lancets, and to the east, there is a taller two-light window.
Inside, the church has a three-bay south arcade with pointed chamfered arches and circular piers. There is a double chamfered pointed chancel arch and two-bay chancel arcades on either side. The chancel includes a low stone screen and tall wooden side screens, as well as blind arcading and a reredos on the east wall. To the south, there is a piscina and sedilia. The interior also features a bronze and iron altar rail, contemporary choir stalls and pews, a fine stone pulpit with black marble shafts, and a bowl and stem front adorned with a row of lancets and three rows of roses, which are characteristic of Street's work. The church has contemporary wooden roofs.
