Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built in 1843 by James Mallinson, with restorations to the east end carried out by T. H. and F. Healey in 1885. The north-west tower was rebuilt in 1906 and relocated from the west to its current position. The church is constructed of ashlar stone and features stone slate roofs in an Early English style. It has a six-bay aisled nave, a north-west tower, a three-bay chancel, a two-bay north chapel, and a two-bay organ chamber to the south. The aisles are buttressed and topped with tall parapets that have roll-top copings. The windows are lancet-shaped and include hoodmoulds. The three-stage square tower is supported by angle buttresses that rise to octagonal pinnacles. There is a very elaborate gabled doorway on the north side, featuring three orders of colonnettes and mouldings. The tower has three-light bell-chamber openings with a blind centre light and a clock face on each side. The west end features two two-light windows with plate tracery and an octofoil in the apex, while the east window has three lights with enriched clustered colonnettes, topped by well-carved angels, a beast, and a bird.

Inside, the nave is arcaded on tall slender octagonal piers. There is a two-bay tower arcade with a well-carved life-sized angel in an octofoiled opening above. The chancel is flanked by two-bay arcades to the north and south. The nave has arched braced trusses, while the aisles feature king-post trusses. The interior includes elaborate and well-carved fittings. The east window is a memorial to John Foster, who died in 1879, and his wife Ruth, who died in 1882.
