Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built in 1842, designed by T.L. Walker. It is constructed of English bond brick and features a slate roof with stone-coped gable parapets. The church is designed in the Gothic Revival style and consists of a nave, an apse, and a southwest tower, with a total of seven bays. The semi-circular apse has two pilaster strips and three lancet windows with brick hood moulds and stone head stops. There is a corbel table between the pilaster strips and buttresses throughout the structure.
The nave includes a small east door located in the south corner and has thin closely-set buttresses. There are six windows on both the north and south sides with a sill course. The southwest entrance features a plank door, while the west front showcases stepped triple lancets, with the hood mould continuing as a string course. A small lancet window is positioned below and to the left of the west front. The west window and the tower's west door are adorned with stone shafts and roll mouldings.
The tower has two stages and is supported by angle buttresses with three offsets. Above the door, there is a small lancet window, and the tower also features a small blind north window and a large south window, along with a string course. The second stage includes a pilaster strip and angle piers, with narrow bell openings that have louvres. All openings are topped with stone head stops. The upper part of the parapet and the stone octagonal spire were added in the 20th century.
Inside, the church is plastered, and the apse windows have continuous hood moulds. The nave features stepped triple arches supported by slender shafts. The roof of the nave has a queen post design with struts and wall posts resting on head corbels, and it is ceiled above the collar beam. There is a deep west gallery supported on two shafts. Notable fittings include 19th-century encaustic tile flooring and an octagonal font from 1901 with clustered shafts. The church was funded by the principal landowners and inhabitants of the densely populated parish of Nuneaton, at a cost of £2,629, with the site provided by the Earl of Harrowby.
