Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Grade II listed building located on Trinity Road. Designed by architect J. Adie Repton, the first stone was laid on 24 May 1892, and it was consecrated on 20 July 1893. This church is constructed of gault brick in a Norman style, which is unusual for Victorian churches in the eastern counties. The side walls feature lesenes and eaves, while the west front has a central projecting bay and a gabled brick porch that is adorned with a group of five lights and a rose window. The building is complemented by pinnacled corner buttresses and a bell-cote of brick that forms the finial of the west gable. The roof is supported by nine queen-post trusses with hollow chamfered tie-beams, and there is some earlier stained glass in the east window.
