Description
Holy Trinity Church, built in 1845 by H. Egington, is a Grade II listed building located on Old Vicarage Road in Dawley. This church features a Perpendicular style with ashlar stonework and includes a nave, north and south aisles, a south baptistery, a chancel, a north vestry, and a west tower. The windows are decorated with Perpendicular traceries and include pointed arches as well as flat-headed designs. The aisles have embattled parapets, and the west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses with set-offs, topped with an embattled parapet and pinnacles.
Inside, the church has arcades supported by thin Perpendicular piers and wide arches. A large west gallery is held up by cast-iron columns. Notable interior features include a good late Norman font, which is tub-shaped with zig-zag decoration at the base, fluted panels above, and a tree of life carving on one side. Additionally, there is a stone set into the modern churchyard boundary wall that dates back to 1652, featuring the initials D over T.A. and two crudely carved heads.
