Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built between 1841 and 1848 by T.L. Walker. It is constructed from Hartshill granite rubble, with red brick, blue brick, and sandstone dressings. The plain-tile roof features stone-coped gable parapets. The building is designed in a Neo-Norman style and consists of a nave and a shallow apsidal chancel, with a total of eight bays.

The west front showcases a large and deep portal with six orders, featuring arches adorned with zig-zag, ball flower, serpentine, and other mouldings in blue brick. Sandstone shafts support scalloped, interlaced, waterleaf, and other capitals. The chamfered shouldered doorway has double-leaf doors and a roundel with a cross in the tympanum. Narrow bays on either side of the portal contain two tiers of windows between the buttresses, all featuring blue brick roll-moulded round arches. The gable displays brick tumbling and a row of four blind quatrefoil roundels made of sandstone. A large sandstone wheel window, resembling a wheel with columns as spokes, is also present.

At the apex of the gable, there is a small square turret resting on two coved corbels with grotesque masks, and it has a pointed elliptical louvred opening between them. The building has a moulded brick string course and a stone pyramid roof. The bell chamber openings feature a simple outer arch and an inner arch with sandstone nook shafts, with two louvred openings on each side. The return sides include doorways in the first and eighth bays, with windows above. The east doorways are bricked up, while the west doorway has a plank door. Windows have a continuous moulded sill course that forms a hood mould above the doorways.

The east gable of the nave has a small turret with louvred openings and the remains of a stone cross. The semi-circular apse has three windows. Inside, the church is plastered with a moulded cornice and a false ceiling. The arch to the apse is unmoulded, and there is a west gallery supported on four shafts with scalloped capitals. The interior was redecorated in 1939 and 1948 by N.F. Cachemaille-Day, and it features a stone octagonal Gothic style font.
