Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built between 1860 and 1861 by architect W. Smith. It features a brick facade faced with flint and stone dressings, topped with a pantile roof. The structure includes a nave, transept chapels, an apsidal chancel, and an east tower. The tower, which has set-back buttressing, rises above the apse and is adorned with small corner towers and a polygonal top stage that culminates in a spire.

The church is designed in the Early English style, characterized by 3-light windows throughout, featuring alternating red and yellow brick arches. Red brick stringcourses are present at the cill and arch-springing levels, with 2-light west windows in the chapels. The buttressed west front has a central doorway flanked by attached columns with capitals and bases, topped with a dripmould that ends in a ball-flower motif. Above the door is a 4-light window with bolection moulding and quatrefoil top lights, and there is 4-bay blind arcading at cill level with tripartite arches.

Inside, the window openings are set in pointed arch recesses. The chapels are arranged in 2-bays and feature shaft corbels with capitals and crocketed bases on the east sides. There are polygonal centre columns and attached polygonal shafts on the chancel arch. The apse arch is supported by attached polygonal columns that spring from corbels. A 20th-century balcony is located at the west end. Notably, the church does not align with a true east/west axis but is oriented to fit the street pattern, approximately north-east to south-west.
