Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is a church built in 1821, with a vestry added in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, featuring ashlar on the south and west sides, and has a graduated slate roof with a tile roof on the north side. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the church has a five-bay single-vessel nave and chancel, along with a north organ loft and vestry, and a slender west tower.

The east end displays a coped gable with kneelers and three pointed windows with splayed plaster reveals; the central window is larger and features Y-tracery, with a datestone above inscribed "G B 1821." The organ loft includes a pointed window with a wooden Y-tracery frame and leaded glazing, along with a blocked pointed entrance to the right. The vestry, which was formerly the verger's house, is two stories high with a two-window range. It has a segmental-headed entrance at the left end and a similar blocked central entrance, along with segmental-headed windows with pegged wooden frames on both floors and a truncated end stack.

The south facade features a central porch with a coped gable and cross, a plain pointed entrance with paired doors, and offset angle buttresses. The Y-tracery windows in splayed reveals include a central one that is truncated over the porch. The west end has a coped gable with kneelers, Y-tracery windows flanking a three-stage tower that includes string courses and an embattled parapet, a plain pointed south entrance, small pointed lights, and louvred bell openings. The north elevation has an ashlar cornice and Y-tracery windows.

Inside, the church features a corbelled king and queen-post roof. The mid-19th century altar rail is supported by enriched brass posts, and other chancel furnishings date from the 1920s and 1930s, including an open traceried screen that incorporates the south pulpit. There is also some stained glass from the 19th and 20th centuries.
