Description
The Church of Holy Trinity, built between 1828 and 1830 by James Savage, is a Grade II listed building located on Philip Lane in Tottenham. This church is designed as a single-cell structure made of grey brick, featuring aisles. It has five windows with short, blank bays at each end. The building is accentuated by octagonal turrets at all four corners, which have open drums and stone spirelets. The high gables at both ends are complemented by a lower-pitched roof, and there are smaller turrets at the outer corners of the aisles. Grouped lancet windows are positioned between flat brick buttresses, and a parapet sits above a corbel table.
Inside, the church has five bay aisles, with the eastern bay of the nave screened off to create the chancel, which is extended by a short sanctuary. The west bay is occupied by a gallery, while the aisles below have been filled in. The original organ and case are located in the center of the gallery. The nave arcade features compound shafts that support a very high roof, with a central sham rising to enhance the structure. A screen dating from around 1900 is also present.
