Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church dating from 1845, designed by Henry Stevens of Derby. The apse and bell turret were added later in 1868 by Slater & Carpenter. The church is constructed of coursed squared rock-faced sandstone with sandstone dressings. It features a chamfered plinth, a moulded eaves band, banded plain and fishscale tile roofs, stone coped gables, a cross finial, and an octagonal, corbelled-out bell turret with a pyramid roof on the west gable. The building comprises a nave, a south porch, two north vestries, and a chancel with a canted apse.

The south porch is gabled with diagonal buttresses, and its entrance features two orders of shafts and a moulded arch. To the left of the porch is a lancet window with a trefoil head and hood-mould. To the right are three two-light windows with plate tracery and hoodmoulds, separated by buttresses. The chancel has a two-light window with geometrical tracery to the south and north, and a larger three-light window with geometrical tracery on each face of the canted apse. Moulded stringcourses connect the sills and hoodmoulds.

The north side has a vestry with a hipped roof, a circular chimney stack, diagonal buttresses, and three single lancets. Two two-light windows, matching those on the south side, are present, along with a buttress between them. A gabled vestry with a tall chimney stack, diagonal buttresses, and a single trefoiled lancet follows. Finally, a trefoiled lancet corresponds to the one on the south side. The eastern-most windows of the nave are enriched with a roll moulding.

The west elevation features two tall trefoiled lancets either side of a buttress, and a wheel window in the gable. A double chamfered south doorway has a plank door with scrolled iron hinges. Inside, the nave has an open arch-braced collar roof, while the chancel arch is double chamfered and rests on capitals with rich foliage and shafts with shaft rings on corbels. The chancel has a richly tiled floor and mosaic dado.

Stained glass from approximately 1882 by Clayton & Bell is found in the three apse windows. Stained glass, including some from 1868 by Cox & Son of London, is present in most other windows, notably the middle south nave window and the east north nave window. The church also contains a stone pulpit with blind trefoiled arcading, an octagonal stone font with bold trefoil motifs on the bowl, standing on a quatrefoil base of a cluster of filleted shafts, and a Royal coat of arms dated 1926.
