Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1856 by S. Pountney Smith, located on the site of a medieval church. It is constructed of yellow sandstone ashlar with a tiled roof featuring verge parapets and a gabled belfry at the west apex. The design is inspired by the Early English style and includes a nave and chancel under one roof, along with a north aisle.
On the south side, there are diagonal buttresses and a continuous eaves band adorned with fleuron decoration, along with raised strings at the impost and cill levels of the windows. The façade features four and a half pairs of lancet windows, a single window to the west of a gabled timber-framed porch, and the last pair to the east of a small lean-to chapel, which may be an addition, that has a triple lancet window. A rose window is situated at the east end above three lancets, while a single central lancet on the west is unusually set in a pilaster strip. The north aisle contains four pairs of lancets, a pointed two-light window at the west end, and a trefoil-shaped light at the east above a round arch, along with a boarded vestry door.
Inside, the church features roofs with arch-braced collars and king posts, a three-bay north aisle arcade with circular piers, and dogtooth decorated moulded arches. Additional interior elements include vestry and organ chamber arches, triple sedilia, and a trefoiled piscina. The fittings from around 1856 consist of altar rails, an octagonal stone pulpit, choir stalls, and a tub font. The stained glass includes roundels of 16th to 17th century Netherlandish glass in the north aisle windows and 17th century German glass in the south windows. It is noted that the church may incorporate some fragments of medieval masonry located west of the porch.
