Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is a church built between 1887 and 1889 by Francis Bacon of Newbury. It incorporates elements from a previous church constructed in 1838 by Thomas Johnson of Lichfield, including the tower and spire. The building is made of punched sandstone ashlar with some limestone dressings and imitation slate roofs. It features a west tower with a spire, a nave, and a chancel under a continuous roof, along with north and south aisles that have pitched roofs.

The west tower has clasping buttresses and a pointed west doorway with a lancet window above it. Each side of the tower has two lancet bell openings, and the spire is set back behind a parapet. Both aisles have a west window with four lights and Geometrical tracery. The aisles contain paired lancet windows with buttresses between the bays; the north aisle has five bays and a doorway to the right of its eastern bay, while the south aisle has four bays and a gabled porch to the left with a pointed doorway. The east window of the north aisle features a triple stepped lancet above a lean-to vestry, and the east windows of the south aisle and chancel have Geometrical tracery, with the south aisle window having three lights and the chancel window having six lights.

Inside, there are five-bay arcades supported by round piers with foliated capitals and pointed arches. The two western bays on each side are filled with late 20th-century concrete block walls, and the west end of the nave is partitioned to form a foyer. The main nave roof trusses include tie-beams, arch-braced collars, king-posts, and central vertical iron rods, while alternate trusses feature scissor-braced collars. The moulded pointed chancel arch is supported by clustered columns.
