Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a parish church with medieval origins, rebuilt in 1720 and restored in 1864. It is constructed from regularly coursed gritstone with a chamfered plinth and features ashlar dressings. The roof is made of machine tiles with coped verges. The church consists of a nave, chancel, west belfry, south porch, and north vestry.

The nave has two bays and includes round-headed windows with raised keystones and imposts, featuring later Y-tracery. There is one window in the center on the north side, one on the west wall, and one on the south side, located to the east of the gabled stone porch. The porch has a moulded pointed arch with a rose boss at the apex, along with a cast-iron plate above it that commemorates the church's rebuilding in 1720. The late 19th-century timber-framed belfry has a steep pyramidal roof topped with a brass weathercock.

The chancel, which has two bays and angle buttresses, features two-light Gothic-style windows from around 1864 that flank a pointed chamfered doorway on the south side. The east window has three lights in a similar style, and there is a gabled vestry on the north side at the junction with the nave.

Inside, the pointed south doorway contains an 18th-century door made of seven vertical planks. There is a contemporary west gallery supported by two wooden posts with turned balusters. The nave has a two-bay king-post roof, while the chancel has a two-bay hammer-beam roof, both dating from around 1864. The pointed chancel arch and the late 19th-century stained glass in the east window also date from this period. The pews are from around 1864, and there is a richly carved 17th-century pulpit and a small mid-19th-century octagonal font with carved quatrefoils and a slender stem.

Monuments include wall memorials to Humphrey Wheeler, who died in 1739, on the north side of the nave, and John Clarke, who died in 1717, on the south side. There is also a brass plate commemorating Mary Boycott, who died in 1656, on the south wall of the nave. A board dated 1857, which records benefactions to the parish, hangs on the west wall. In the medieval period, the church was a possession of the nearby Buildwas Abbey.
