Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church dating from the 12th century, constructed of sandstone rubble with a plain tile roof. It has a cruciform layout featuring a crossing tower.
On the exterior, the south doorway to the chancel is adorned with a dogtooth ornamented arch supported by attached columns with enriched capitals. The tower, likely from the 14th century, has a later superstructure and includes a sundial and weather-vane. The nave has thick walls punctuated by splayed lancets, and there is a blocked opening above the south doorway, which features a studded plank door with wrought-iron hinges and a lock dated 1696. Additionally, there is a blocked north doorway beneath an altered opening with a lancet.
Inside, the north transept has a roof supported by trussed rafters with raking braces. The south transept features a roof with moulded queen-post trusses and cusped windbraces. The nave roof includes moulded trusses and purlins with quatrefoil windbracing, along with moulded wood ashlar pieces and enriched panelling. Memorial tablets are present for the James family (1775), Swainson (1835), and Cooke (1766). The church also contains late 18th-century box-pews in the transepts and a 14th-century font. There are memorial slabs for Richard James (1727) and others, as well as 17th-century texts with enriched borders located in the south transept.
