Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church is a chapel of ease built in 1861 by Edward Haycock, Jnr., of Shrewsbury. It is constructed from squared and coursed pink Alberbury breccia with red and grey sandstone ashlar dressings, and has a plain-tile roof with banded details and stone-coped gable ends.

The west front features a four-light window with cusped lancets and a central septfoil, set within a pointed arch with a moulded drip-stone and polychrome voussoirs. A tower is situated in the south-west corner, with a polychrome voussoir arch framing the south door, tall clasped buttresses at the corners, largely blind second level, large windows to each face of the third level with cusped lights under polychrome voussoirs, and a broached spire with louvered openings.

The south aisle has paired lancets to the first two bays, tripled to the third, with buttresses between and a banded roof. Above this is a shallow clerestory with a stone quatrefoil window flanked by tiny lancets in each bay, all under a similarly banded roof. The south transept, flush with the aisle wall, has buttresses and a central window of two pairs of cusped lancets under polychrome voussoirs, accompanied by a horizontal window with three quatrefoils to the east.

The chancel has diagonal buttresses and an east window of three cusped lancets with a cinquefoil and flanking circles, under a pointed arch with a moulded drip-stone and polychrome voussoirs. The north aisle includes a vestry to the east, with a chamfered chimneystack between the vestry and chancel, a north doorway with a tapered head, and nave arcading. The nave itself has three tall windows of paired cusped lancets under quatrefoils or trefoils, within polychrome voussoirs, with buttresses between, the western bay being blind.

Inside, the porch has wooden doors with decorative iron hinges, one paired under a pointed arch and the other single under a tapered head. The four-bay nave has a wooden arched-braced king-post roof with curved struts and slightly cambered chamfered collars, with principals springing from stone corbels. The three-bay arcade to the south aisle has circular piers with moulded capitals and double-chamfered arches. The south aisle roof has chamfered principals supported by curved brackets springing from stone corbels. The chancel is raised three steps above the nave, beyond a double-chamfered chancel arch with polychrome voussoirs, a hood mould, and colonettes with water leaf capitals. The chancel roof includes collars with curved braces to each pair of rafters. The interior features encaustic tile flooring, and original timber pews and choir stalls. A Caen stone octagonal baptismal font is also present, incorporating World War I memorial glass in the east window with polychrome voussoirs.

The church shares group value with the adjacent and contemporary former Rectory, The Grange, also designed by Edward Haycock, Jnr.
