Description
The Church of Holy Trinity is a chapel of ease dating to 1862, constructed of ashlar with red brick dressings, and featuring slate roofs with decorative ridges and coped gables topped with single ridge crosses on the porch, bellcote, and east nave. The church comprises a nave, south porch, north vestry/organ chamber, chancel, and a west bellcote. It is buttressed, set on a chamfered plinth with continuous flush sill and lintel brick bands, punctuated by the buttresses.
The west bellcote sits atop the west wall, supported by an ashlar base featuring two open trefoil arches and three foliate decorated corbels; above the trefoils is a single decorated quatrefoil. The bellcote contains a single trefoil arched opening for the bell, flanked by columns with foliate capitals supporting a gable topped with a circular carved panel and a figure. The west wall has three lancet windows, the central one being taller. The north nave has three windows, each with two pointed arched lights surmounted by a single circle. A segmental pointed arched doorway leads to the north vestry. Steps lead down to a doorway with a plank door on the east wall, above which is a two-light window under a flat arch with a pointed relieving arch. The apsidal east end has three tall trefoil arched lights, mirrored by a pair of similar lights in the south chancel wall. The south nave mirrors the north with two windows. The south porch features a moulded arched entrance, with the inner order supported on columns with foliate decorated capitals and the outer order on imposts, chamfered with broach and bar stops. A hood mould has human head label stops, and the gable apex holds a circular panel decorated with a carved head. The inner arched doorway also has imposts, with bar stops.
Inside, a double-chamfered chancel arch is supported by columns with decorative capitals; the outer chamfer is supported on similarly decorated capitals, portions of colonnettes, and angel carved corbels. Similar colonnettes, capitals, and foliate carved corbels support the roof at the juncture of chancel and apse. A chancel/north vestry arch is also present. A continuous moulded band with foliate stops extends under the east windows. Remains of a 12th-century piscina, decorated with crude volutes, are found in the south chancel wall. There is an octagonal ashlar font, and flanking the chancel arch are boards with quotations from Exodus Chapter XX. A 19th-century painting depicts the medieval church and the newly built church. A selection of 19th-century monuments are also present.
