Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a church with origins dating back to the 12th century, further developed in the 14th century, altered in the 17th century, and restored in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed and uncoursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and has plain-tile roofs with ashlar coped gables. The building comprises a chancel, a nave with a projecting south porch, and an integral bellcote.

The chancel features an arched east window in the Decorated style, with three cusped lancets and foiled tracery. A round-headed lancet window is set into the north wall, while the blocked south doorway retains an ogee arch. The south wall also contains an arched window of two cusped lancets with quatrefoil tracery. The nave has two restored arched windows with twin cusped lancets and quatrefoil tracery on the north side, and a single similar window on the south side. The 12th-century south doorway has a plain tympanum with diaper hatching within its arched opening, supported by a bold roll-moulding set within a recessed arch, featuring diapered abaci on crude scroll-moulded capitals with plain shafts. The south porch dates to the 19th century and has a buttressed, ashlar-coped gable with an arched entrance opening. The west wall was rebuilt in the 19th century and features a lancet window surmounted by a clerestory quatrefoil set into a tall, arched recess flanked by buttresses with ashlar-coped offsets. The rebuilt wall has angle buttresses at the corners and is topped by an ashlar bellcote with two arched bell openings and a gabled canopy with ashlar coping.

Inside, the chancel has a single-bay, single-purlin roof with a straight wind brace. A single truss has a cambered tie beam and twin raking struts. The 12th-century chancel arch has a bold roll-moulding set within an arched recess, with abaci and diaper pattern on the soffit chamfer, crude scroll-moulded capitals on plain shafts. 17th-century communion rails are also present. The nave's 17th-century roof is a 3-bay chamfered double trenched-purlin structure. It incorporates a cambered tie beam, four vertical struts; the outer pair has a rail above, and the central pair frames curved arched braces set on simple brackets with pendants at the head of the arch, with twin raking struts. The ridge is diagonally-set and features scalloped wind braces. Memorial tablets commemorate Rector Henry Holland, who died in 1684, and Rev Taylor and family, who died in 1760.
