Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a medieval parish church that has undergone restorations in 1861, 1887, and the chancel in 1902-1908. The church features a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch, constructed from flint rubble with stone dressing and slated roofs. The round tower dates from the 11th century or earlier, while the tower arch and a blocked east window are from the 12th century. The 14th-century octagonal belfry stage and crenellated parapet are made of knapped flint, with 2-light belfry openings on all four sides, although the southern opening has been altered. The nave, also from the 12th century, includes 14th-century 2-light windows, most of which are original. To the north, there is part of a 12th-century doorway featuring colonettes and scalloped capitals. The 15th-century porch has a knapped flint facade with flushwork panels on the plinth and buttresses; its moulded entrance arch is decorated with various carved motifs, and above it is an empty statue niche flanked by mutilated angels. The parapet displays carved stone shields.

The chancel is likely to have a 12th-century core with 14th-century window openings; internally, the north and south openings have moulded surrounds, with the southern ones also being shafted. The windows have been renewed, including a 3-light east window with reticulated tracery. Inside, remnants of the chancel arch's capitals and part of the responds remain, along with a crenellated rood beam. However, the chancel has been re-roofed at a lower level, resulting in the loss of the upper part of the arch. There is an early 14th-century angle piscina (mutilated) in the south chancel, next to a drop-sill sedilia formed by an early tomb slab. A 15th-century octagonal font features lions on the stem, heads and vine foliage on the underside of the bowl, and cusped bowl panels with alternating heads and shields. The two easternmost north nave windows contain well-preserved 15th-century paintings in their eastern reveals, depicting figures of female saints with rays and angels above. On either side of the tower arch are 19th-century copies of the Lord's Prayer, Commandments, and Creed.
