Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican church built in 1864 by J.A. Chatwin. It is constructed of rock-faced red sandstone with bands of white limestone and white limestone dressings. The church features a steeply pitched slate roof with stone-coped gable ends and red clay ridge tiles. The layout includes a nave, chancel with a polygonal apse, north and south aisles, short transepts, and a south porch with a tower and spire above. There is also a later 19th-century vestry on the south side of the chancel.

In the High Victorian Gothic style, the exterior showcases geometric tracery windows. The aisles have 2-light windows, and the gabled transepts feature large stone rose windows with plate tracery. The south side includes a porch accessed through a large tower with angle buttresses, tall 2-light bell-openings, and a stone broach spire adorned with gargoyles, lucarnes, and carved frieze bands. Small clerestory windows consist of three cusped lights, while a large 4-light west window with geometric tracery is complemented by a moulded pointed arch doorway below and a trefoil above. The buttresses are designed with weathered set-offs, and the polygonal apse has tall 2-light windows with geometric tracery.

Inside, the church features ashlar walls with deep rear-arches and a lofty nave supported by 5-bay arcades with double-chamfered arches and round piers with stiff-leaf capitals. The scissor-braced nave roof has alternate principals that spring from angel corbels low on the clerestory walls, with ceiled ashlar pieces above. The chancel and apse roof are painted, and the deeply moulded chancel arch has the inner order resting on corbel shafts. The apse includes blind cusped arcading, a canopied sedilia, and a reredos with a canopy over a carved relief of the Crucifixion. The encaustic floor tiles are intact, along with furnishings such as the Communion rail, choir stalls, lecterns, pews, an organ cantilevered out on angel brackets, and an elaborate stone pulpit and font. The stained glass windows are by Clayton and Bell, Heaton Butler and Bayne, Hardman, and Alexander Gibbs of Bedford.
