Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church dating to 1846-8, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, with a 1988 addition by John Webster of Leeds. The church is constructed of limestone ashlar with a Westmorland slate roof, and has a western lobby addition in artificial stone. A flat-roofed extension with a parapet, built in 1988, connects the church to a 20th-century church hall.

The church is executed in the Decorated Gothic style. The plan comprises a nave with clerestory, aisles, transepts, and a south-west porch. The western elevation has a window of four lights with reticulated tracery, a small bellcote, and angel corbels. A 1920s choir vestry has been incorporated into the lobby entrance. A pair of three-light windows with trefoiled ogee heads are present. The aisles have a plinth, parapet, stepped buttresses, and three two-light ogee-headed windows.

The transepts feature offset buttresses, cross fleury gables, and four-light pointed windows with flowing tracery. The gabled north vestry contains a traceried two-light pointed window and an ogee-headed doorway. The east gable and north side of the chancel feature two-light flowing traceried windows, and the east end of the nave has a five-light flowing traceried window with angled buttresses and griffin head carvings. The nave clerestory includes four circular windows with trefoils or quatrefoils. A slightly later gabled south porch features a double-chamfered door with a hood and side lights.

Inside, the four-bay nave arcade has octagonal piers and capitals adorned with ball flower motifs and stiff leaf carving. Double-chamfered pointed arches are present, along with responds with half-octagonal corbels. The roof is of crown post construction with braces to tie beams on carved stone corbels. Arches lead from the aisles to the transepts, and from the nave to the transepts. A tall, moulded pointed tower arch features decorated capitals and angel supporters to the corbels.

The furnishings include an octagonal 19th-century carved font, a stone pulpit with panelled traceried sides, a contemporary carved altar rail, and a reredos.
