Description
The Church of Holy Trinity is a parish church incorporating elements from the 12th century, with rebuilding and restoration in the 14th century. A clerestory was removed in the 14th century, and the church was heavily restored in 1859 by J. Fowler. The tower collapsed in 1972. The building is constructed of dressed greenstone, with some red brick patching, and has plain tile roofs with decorative ridge details. The east and porch gables are coped, with a single ridge cross to the east nave, and a hipped roof to the organ chamber.
The church comprises the remains of a nave, south aisle, south porch, south organ chamber, and chancel. The west wall shows evidence of a former chamfered tower arch, now partially blocked with a single rectangular light. A low ashlar and red brick wall, forming a quadrangle, extends from either side of the lower portion of the west wall, representing the remains of the angle buttressed tower. The north nave displays some 12th-century herringbone stonework and contains a single 19th-century lancet window. To the left of this is a pair of similar lancets, followed by two single lancets, and at the far left, a single small rectangular light set low. The north chancel has a single 19th-century trefoil arched faucet. The east chancel features a single 19th-century arched, three-light window with cusped tracery, a hood mould, decorative label stops, and a continuous sill band. The south chancel window is similar. The south wall of the organ chamber has a 19th-century window with two trefoil arched lights and a single blind trefoil. The south nave contains a single 19th-century lancet, followed by a pair of similar lancets, and the 19th-century porch, which has a moulded and chamfered arched entrance supported on colonnettes. There is a moulded arched 19th-century inner doorway with a hood mould and decorative label stops. To the far left is a single similar 19th-century lancet, and at the west end, a single similar lancet.
The interior features a four-bay 12th-century nave arcade with circular columns and a west respond, the east respond being octagonal. All have moulded capitals and 14th-century double chamfered arches. There is a chamfered, partially blocked tower arch, and a 19th-century moulded chancel arch supported on circular responds with a hood mould and decorative label stops. The north and south chancel windows have chamfered arches supported on colonnettes, while the east window has a moulded arch supported on colonnettes with shaft rings, a hood mould, and decorative label stops. A mid-13th-century octagonal ashlar font is supported on eight slim shafts with a single central, larger shaft. The remains of a worn decorated 12th-century pedestal piscina are present, as is a 17th-century oak chest with some decoration.
