Description

Holy Trinity Church is a Gothic Revival church built in 1841 by R. D. Chantrell, with a porch and north aisle added in 1895. The church is constructed of dressed stone and features a pitched slate roof with gable copings. It has a six-bay buttressed nave adorned with two-light, traceried, stained glass windows that include hood moulds. The porch is located on the south side, and the chancel to the east has a five-light, traceried, stained glass window with a hood mould. The west tower is two-tiered, featuring a two-light louvred bell chamber and a clock. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and topped with a parapet that has crocketed pinnacles.

Inside, the later north aisle has been recently screened off to create a separate hall and Lady Chapel, which contains an altar, chairs, and screens designed by Thompson of Kilburn around 1930. There are clerestory lights above the north aisle, and a balcony was removed around 1930. The church also features a carved stone font.
