Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church is a decorated Gothic style church constructed between 1856 and 1857, with a north-east chapel and vestry added in 1872. It was designed by T.C. Hine and is built of coursed squared, rock-faced sandstone with gritstone dressings and quoins. The steeply pitched slate roof has crested ridge tiles and stone coped gables, detailed with gableted eaves and ridge.

The church comprises a north-west tower, nave, chancel, a north nave aisle, vestry, and a north-east chapel with a crypt below. The west elevation features two tall lancet windows with dripmoulds, containing inset cusped tracery, above which is a central quatrefoil window with a dripmould. Stepped buttresses flank the west elevation, with a further buttress and a three-light pointed window to the north. A two-stage tower with a stone, broached spire rises to the north; a projecting stair turret is located to the south-west. The tower's corners are defined by stepped angle buttresses. The north and east sides of the tower have two-light pointed windows with trefoil-headed lights below, a quatrefoil above, and dripmoulds, along with louvred bell openings. A frieze of gableted trefoil openings tops the spire. The north nave aisle wall incorporates a stepped buttress and two windows similar to those on the tower. The vestry projects to the east, displaying cusped ogee tracery on its pointed eastern window. Beyond the vestry, the north-east chapel is accessed via steps leading to a shouldered doorcase and gableted corner buttress, with a triple lancet crypt window flanked by trefoil openings to the east wall. Above the crypt window is a three-light pointed window containing cusped geometric tracery and a dripmould. The south chancel wall has a three-light east window with similar tracery, and a chamfered pointed doorcase with a dripmould to the south. A lancet with tracery and stepped buttresses flank the doorcase. The south nave wall displays three stepped buttresses and windows resembling those of the tower. A south porch features a double chamfered doorcase and twin, flat headed, ogee-traceried windows.

Inside, a three-bay north arcade is defined by octagonal piers, moulded capitals, and double chamfered arches. Similar arches define the chancel and tower spaces. The east end of the nave aisle opens into the north chapel through a three-light trefoil-headed arcade, with a traceried three-light window above. The nave and aisle have scissor-truss roofs, while the chancel features a barrel vaulted roof with ribs and bosses. The chancel contains linen fold panelling and seating to the south. A double pointed archway, filled with tracery and opening to the chapel, is positioned to the north, featuring a large angel sculpted above a central column. A pointed archway with nook shafts, carved capitals, and a pierced stonework tympanum leads to a vestry passage and raised chapel to the west. The church retains original stone trefoil-headed arcade elements, an altar and brass altar rails and screen. Also present are a contemporary stone pulpit and an octagonal font, alongside a medieval rood screen applied to the wall.
