Description
Holy Trinity Church is a parish church built in 1843 by T.M. Nelson, designed in the Gothick style. It is constructed of gault brick and features slender buttresses at intervals that rise to the eaves level, topped with steeply gabled heads. The church has slated roofs and a square tower with a corbel table at the top, crowned by a tall copper-clad spire. The layout includes a nave, sanctuary, and west tower, with the church aligned parallel to the road and the tower located at the south-west end. The nave has five windows, while the sanctuary is notably short and includes a lean-to vestry. The windows are lancet-shaped with double-splayed brick reveals and diamond leaded lights. The main entrance is located on the south-west face of the tower, featuring a pointed hoodmoulded doorway and a door with narrow vertical panels; the vestry doorway is similar. Inside, the church boasts a complete interior with an open kingpost roof and a panelled gallery supported by cast iron columns, which displays the coat of arms of George IV. The organ was brought from Culford Church. A plain, octagonal limestone font from the 14th century, which has a traceried stem, was removed from Creeting All Saints Church, which was demolished in 1800. Additionally, there is a fine octagonal pulpit dating from around 1600, likely of Flemish origin, adorned with carved figures on five faces.
