Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1842 by architects George Gilbert Scott and Moffatt. It is constructed of stone and features a plain tiled roof with scalloped bands. The church is designed in the Decorated style and includes a west tower with a spire, a nave with two aisles and a clerestory, and a chancel.

The four-stage west tower has clasping buttresses that end in pinnacles. It features a west door with paired shafts leading to a triple chamfered arch, a three-light window above it, and an oculus. The bell chamber has paired lights, and there is a trefoiled frieze below the parapet. The spire has two tiers of lucarnes, and the south porch has shafts leading to a moulded arch that is repeated on the inner doorway.

Inside, the nave consists of four bays divided by gableted buttresses, each with a two-light traceried window. Corbels support a projecting parapet, and there is a low clerestory above with quatrefoil windows. The chancel is ornate, featuring shafts with foliate capitals and hoodmoulds on the windows.

The interior includes a high arcade of five bays with clustered shafts that support a rib vaulted ceiling. It has encaustic floor tiles throughout, a tiled dado with a high glazed frieze, and quatrefoil memorial tiles inset. The original pews have poppy-head bench ends, and there is a deep-moulded chancel arch. A wooden reredos with interlace in the panelling and riddle posts serves as a war memorial. The chancel has a painted panelled ceiling and a vaulted roof over the apse. The stained glass in the chancel is in an early medieval style, featuring small lozenges with scenes, while the south aisle contains Mannerist style glass from 1902-1904.

The church was endowed by Herbert Minton.
