Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Grade II listed building located on Broad Lane in Sykehouse. The tower was built in 1721, while the rest of the church was completed in 1869 by C. H. Fowler. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The church has a west tower, a four-bay nave with a south porch and a north aisle, and a narrower chancel with a north vestry. The design is in the Gothic Revival style.
The tower has a simple square projection from the nave, with a chamfered plinth band beneath a 19th-century west window that consists of two lancets with a quatrefoil beneath a pointed brick arch. It also features a slit window and an offset band beneath wooden, louvred belfry openings with two trefoil-headed lights, topped by a pyramidal roof with a cross. A plaque on the south side of the tower commemorates 'John Gibson' and the date '1721'.
The nave includes a chamfered plinth and a gabled porch on the second bay, which has an apex cross. There is an east buttress, and the windows match those of the tower. The north aisle contains a mullioned window with three round-headed lights and pointed lancet windows. The chancel is lower and set back, featuring a blue brick band on the south side beneath three lancets, with the eastern lancet set higher and cusped. Clasping buttresses flank a three-light east window, and the gable copings are topped with a cross. The gabled north vestry has a two-light mullioned window beneath a shouldered lintel.
Inside, the arcade consists of cylindrical piers with square bases and capitals supporting two-order brick arches, similar to the arches of the tower and chancel. The interior also features blue-brick, ashlar, and cogged brick bands, as well as a two-seat sedilia and piscina with arches above. A small octagonal font, dating from the 15th century, is presumably from another location.
