Description
Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican church built in 1897 and extended in 1931. It was designed by the architects Mills and Murgatroyd from Manchester for the Woodd-Sidebottom family, who were the patrons. The church is constructed from coursed squared gritstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof.
The building is aligned from the north-west to the south-east and includes an entrance tower with a spire at the west corner, a nave, liturgical north and south aisles, an apsidal chancel, a vestry, and a choir vestry. The three-stage tower has full-height angle buttresses with set-offs, which terminate at gabled pinnacles, and is topped by a tall octagonal spire with a weather vane. The nave consists of five bays with a steeply-pitched roof and coped gables, featuring a clerestory with triple lancets in each bay. The aisles have lean-to roofs and coupled lancets, with bay divisions marked by stepped buttresses.
Inside, the nave arcades are supported by circular gritstone columns with simply-moulded capitals, which hold up light-coloured brick walls accented with decorative red brick banding. The chancel arch is tall, pointed, and stepped, with irregular gritstone quoining. The roof trusses in the chancel are also carried on corbels, featuring carved figures. There is a pointed arched organ recess to the right, housing an organ from 1882. The altar is adorned with a wooden reredos, and choir benches have fitted overthrows for candles, with patterned floor tiling beneath the altar. The nave contains a complete set of benches and a partially glazed screen with the church wardens' pew at the west end. Additionally, a font is located at the west end of the south aisle, featuring a circular Bath stone bowl set upon a shaft of red Cork marble.
