Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church dating from the 13th century, with restorations carried out in 1642, 1885, and between 1891 and 1892. It is constructed of coursed and random rubble, topped with slate roofs. The building features a nave, a lower chancel, and a south porch. The east end has a parapeted gable, while the west end is adorned with a gabled bellcote that has twin arched openings.

On the south side of the nave, there is a chamfered arched doorway to the left, complete with a hoodmould and a six-panelled door. The gabled porch has an arched entrance and side benches inside. A central cusped two-light window with a hoodmould and carved stops is flanked by a cusped lancet window to the right. The north side features a two-light window from around 1885, designed in a 14th-century style, with a hoodmould and uncarved stops. The west end includes a cusped two-light window from circa 1885, also with a hoodmould and uncarved stops, and the wall above is thickened to support the bellcote, creating a hood over the window.

The chancel has two buttresses on the south side, with a one-light square-headed cusped window to the left and another one-light square-headed window to the right, featuring cusped ogee tracery. There are two buttresses on the north side, along with a later lean-to shed. The east end showcases a three-light 19th-century window with reticulated quatrefoil tracery and a hoodmould with uncarved stops.

Inside, the church has a restored 15th-century three-bay nave roof, characterized by struts from arch-braced collars, double purlins, and windbraces. The chancel likely features a 15th-century arch-braced single framed roof. Notable fittings include cut-down 17th-century box pews, a plain octagonal wooden pulpit from the 17th century with a gadrooned frieze, and an octagonal stone font with a chamfered stem on a step. The east wall of the chancel is adorned with 17th-century panelling, which includes some arched panels, gadrooning, and guilloche ornament, along with a hatchment on the south wall of the chancel.
