Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church dating back to the early 14th century, significantly restored around 1841. It is constructed of ashlar with plain tile roofs and stone-coped verges. The church comprises a west tower, a four-bay nave, and a three-bay chancel with a vestry.
The west tower has three stages marked by offsets, with angle buttresses, a parapet string, and a crenellated parapet featuring moulded coping stones to the merlons and crenels. A pointed west entrance has a wave-moulded surround and a studded door. Above this is a pointed window with Y- tracery and a wave-moulded surround, and high above, a seated figure within a niche with a crocketed canopy. The nave has buttresses at the corners and a corbel course beneath a plain parapet with moulded coping. The south doorway, dating from the 19th century, has two orders of columns with moulded caps, ball flower ornament around the pointed arch, and a hood mould. A blocked north doorway features two orders of concave quarter-round mouldings and an ogee-moulded hood. Windows on the north and south sides are two-light designs with Decorated tracery. The chancel has buttresses defining the bays, a south door with a two-centred drop arch and a double ogee-moulded surround (though the latter may be a misinterpretation of the original moulding). Two-light side windows and a four-light east window are present, all with flowing tracery and wave-moulded surrounds.
Inside, the high-pointed chancel arch is of two chamfered orders without capitals; a similar tower arch exists, though the lower portion has been blocked and plastered over. The nave features an arch-braced hammer-beam roof, while the chancel has an arch-braced collar roof. A west gallery houses a Gothic-style barrel organ built in 1819 by James Butler. A stone front with a quatrefoil section pedestal is supported by detached shafts holding a circular basin with arcaded sides and blank shields. The church contains a full set of 19th-century box pews with poppy-heads on the bench ends, a hexagonal pulpit contemporary with the pews, and choir stalls also with poppy heads. Within the chancel are sedilia with cinquefoil arches and a trefoil-headed aumbry. Armorial glass by Warrington is found in the two outer lights of the east window, while the centre light displays figures of Saints Mark and Luke.
