Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a parish church dating to 1937, designed by J Amory Teather. It is constructed of random rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring gabled and hipped plain tile roofs. The design is in the Romanesque Revival style.

The church’s plan includes an apsidal chancel, a side chapel, an organ chamber, a vestry, a nave with a clerestory, aisles, transepts, a south-west tower, and both north-west and south-west porches. The exterior features primarily round-arched windows. The apsidal chancel has four windows, while the north-east side chapel has two windows to the north and east. The organ chamber, a two-story section with a massive external side wall stack and a single window, adjoins the vestry, which has a double-hipped roof. A round-arched doorway leads south from the vestry. A recessed flat-headed doorway is flanked on the right by two small flat-headed windows on the west side of the church. The four-bay nave has three pairs of clerestory windows on either side, set within slight projections. The west end features a graduated triple window. The three-bay aisles have three triple shouldered windows each. The transepts incorporate a pair of very tall windows. The rectangular two-stage south-west tower has panelled north and south sides and a stepped parapet, with small slit windows on the west side. The bell stage has a round-arched double bell opening to the north and south, and smaller single openings to the east and west. A gabled north-west porch has a Romanesque doorway with double shafts and a plain inner arch, a double door, and a fanlight. The south-west porch has a splayed flat-headed opening with a concrete lintel and flat-headed doors.

The interior features plain round arches and rendered walls. The chancel has a canted panelled ceiling. A shouldered piscina is located under the south-east window. The south side contains a tall recess with a roundel above and two smaller recesses, one with a window and the other with a shouldered door below. To the west is an organ opening. To the north are two tall openings leading to the side chapel. The nave has a shallow-pitched wagon roof with braces on corbels. The three-bay arcades have square piers, and the clerestory windows have a sillband with a single blank to the west. In the west bay, round-arched doorways provide access to the north and south aisles. The side chapel and aisles have lean-to roofs, and the aisles feature transverse arches. The east window of the side chapel has a central shaft. The transepts have arches leading to the nave; the north transept has a smaller arch to the side chapel. The south transept has a shouldered doorway with a round-arched opening above and, to the right, a cusped niche with a figure on a bracket. Fittings include a canted octagonal ashlar font, a pulpit, a lectern with a plaited relief band, a wooden altar rail, panelled stalls, and desks. There are no stained glass windows or memorials.
