Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church that was largely restored or rebuilt in 1873 by C. R. Chorley, although it retains some late medieval elements. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features slate roofs, except for the porch. The church is designed in the Perpendicular style and includes a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles, and a chancel.
The three-stage tower has diagonal buttresses and a two-centred arched west doorway with two orders of hollow chamfer and a hoodmould, above which are studded double doors. There is a 19th-century recessed three-light window with tracery above the doorway, and the belfry windows consist of two cusped lights. The tower also features a cornice on a corbel table and an embattled parapet with crocketed corner pinnacles, along with a clock face on the south side.
The five-bay nave has square-headed recessed clerestory windows, each with two cusped lights, and an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. The four-bay south aisle includes a gabled porch at the second bay that protects a late-medieval moulded inner doorway with a massive studded double-layer oak door, along with large two-centred arched three-light windows that have Perpendicular tracery. The four-bay north aisle, which has a pitched roof, features similar three-light windows, although the middle pair lacks tracery. Both aisles are supported by buttresses and have embattled parapets with crocketed pinnacles. The two-bay chancel has a large east window with five cusped lights and Perpendicular tracery.
Inside, the church features 19th-century arcades with double-chamfered arches on octagonal columns. The chancel arch has clustered shafts, and the tower arch is adorned with three orders of chamfer. The nave ceiling is late medieval, constructed from massive moulded beams with carved bosses. The font, dated 1662, has an octagonal bowl on a fluted pedestal, with panels lettered in relief. It is accompanied by a 17th-century spire-shaped font cover with carved openwork panels. Additionally, there is a marble monument with effigies to Mary Anne Faviel, created in 1942 by J. Towne, located at the west end of the north aisle.
