Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a parish church dating from 1857, designed by Edward Haycock Jun. for Miss Barrett of Prescott. It is constructed of rock-faced sandstone ashlar on a stepped, chamfered plinth, with machine tile roofs featuring coped verges and foliated crosses to the gables. The church is built in the early Decorated style, comprising a nave, chancel, a north porch and a vestry/organ chamber.

The nave has a west bellcote and is buttressed in three bays on its south side, featuring paired cusped lancet windows with leaded lights. The east bay of the south side is adjacent to a covered passageway connecting the church to the former vicarage. The west end features angle buttresses, a central buttress with cusped lancets to either side, and a roundel with three pierced sexfoils and a clock dated 1897, commemorating Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The north side is also buttressed in three unequal bays with paired cusped lancets to the east and centre bays, and a single cusped lancet to the west bay. A gabled stone porch with pointed inner and outer doorways (the latter double-chamfered), cusped quatrefoils to the sides, and approached by a straight flight of six steps flanked by ramped gabled coping, is located on the north side. A planted timber-framed bellcote has louvred rectangular openings and a broached slate spire with a weathercock.

The chancel has a cusped lancet to the north and stepped angle buttresses to the east wall, which features a window with geometrical tracery in three lights. The south side of the chancel is buttressed in two bays, with paired cusped lancets having a trefoil above the east bay and three cusped lancets to the west bay. A gabled vestry/organ chamber, set at right angles to the north, incorporates an external end stack and a two-light mullion window on its east side, with a boiler house below.

Inside, the nave has an arch-braced collar beam roof in four bays, with cusped struts from the collars and painted armorial shields to plain stone corbels. The bellcote is braced in the west bay. The chancel has a trussed rafter roof with scissor bracing. The pointed chancel arch has corbelled responds with carved foliage decoration and a hoodmould terminating in painted head-stops, a queen to the left and a king to the right. A pointed doorway leads to the vestry. The stone pulpit has blind Gothic tracery panels, and the octagonal font is likely from around 1857. Late 19th-century benches furnish the nave. The chancel and raised sanctuary have choir stalls and square and rectangular oak panelling, provided by Revd. E.H. Tuke, the vicar from 1879-1915. A chair, possibly Jacobean, is situated in the sanctuary. The parish of Weston Lullingfield was created from Baschurch in 1857.
