Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity, a Church of England building, was constructed in 1841 by Thomas Smith, with a polygonal vestry added around 1900. It is built of yellow brick with stone dressings and has slate roofs. This small church is designed in the 12th-century Italian Romanesque style, featuring an apsidal chancel that is hexagonal on the outside, wide transepts with galleries, an unaisled nave, a vestry, and a vaulted crypt beneath the eastern parts. The galleries are accessed by staircases located in the angles between the nave and transepts, with the northern staircase leading up to an octagonal bell turret.
The west gable entrance is stone and round-arched, adorned with dogtooth carving, and there is a Romanesque wheel-window above it. The church has narrow round-headed windows and consistently employs dogtooth round arches in the interior, visible on wooden pew ends, gallery fronts, and the internal porch. There is a Romanesque-style wooden organ case with battlements, nook-shafts, and zig-zag ornamentation in the apse. The crossing arch features corbels and cushion caps, and the walls are decorated with painted texts. A flared stone font rests on short columns with scalloped cans. The church also contains Victorian stained glass and a Puginesque brass memorial in the chancel dedicated to Rev H H Coddington from 1845.
