Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1842 by HI Stevens. It is constructed of ashlar with slate and concrete tile roofs and is designed in the Gothic Revival style. The plan comprises a chancel, vestry, nave with clerestory, aisles, a north porch, and a west tower.

The exterior features a plinth, sill band, coped parapets and gables, and shallow buttresses. The windows are predominantly plain lancets with hood moulds. The chancel has a graduated three-light east window and three windows to the south. The vestry, to the north, has a single window to the north and east. The clerestory has five windows on each side, separated by pilasters. The south aisle has five paired windows, and single windows to the east and west; the north aisle has four paired windows, and a single window to the west. The north porch has a coped gable with angle buttresses, a double-chamfered doorway, and a window on each side. The square west tower has three stages, angle buttresses, a coped parapet with pinnacles, a chamfered west door under a gable, and single windows east and west. A graduated three-light window is positioned above the doorway, with single windows to the north and south. Clock dials are situated above. The bell stage features triple openings on each side, with a clock to the east.

The interior is rendered and features a moulded chancel arch with a single lancet above. The nave and chancel have arch-braced hammer beam roofs. The east end contains a stained glass window dedicated to Francis Wright, who died in 1873, and an elaborate tile and mosaic reredos dating to approximately 1902, depicting figures. A wooden altar rail with a bowed centre is present. A north-side organ opening and a south-side Tudor arched door are also notable. The nave has four-bay arcades with quatrefoil piers and double-chamfered arches. An ashlar and marble screen wall and pulpit, erected in 1902, stand on the east side, accompanied by a Perpendicular style traceried wooden screen and crest. A two-tier panelled gallery and screen are located at the west end, with glazed porches and screens below. Stained glass windows from 1902, 1911, and 1931 are located in the north aisle, along with organ pipes at the east end. The south aisle similarly has stained glass windows of 1873, 1897, 1914, and an 1873 window at the east end. Notable fittings include an outstandingly rare cubical font, dating to the mid 12th century and originally from Lenton Priory, with elaborate figure carving on three sides. The base was stepped in 1904. Late 19th-century stalls and desks, alongside mid 19th-century benches, are also present. Memorials include six 19th-century marble and slate tablets and an arch-topped bronze tablet from 1917 commemorating Albert Ball.
