Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church is a parish church dating from 1850, designed by Benjamin Ferrey. The church is constructed of flint with Bath stone dressings and a slate roof with stone-coped gables. It comprises a nave, chancel, and a north vestry. The exterior features a stone plinth capping and string at window sill level, with angle buttresses at the ends. A three-stage flint and stone bellcote is situated at ridge level at the west end. The south front has three bays of two-light, cusped, traceried windows to the nave, with a steeply pitched, timber and glazed entrance porch between the first and second bays. The chancel has two similar one-light windows. All windows have pointed stone arches and hood moulds with small carved stone heads at the bases of the nave windows, and foliage bases to the chancel windows. The interior is plastered with stone dressings around the windows. A credence is located on the north wall of the vestry. The chancel roof is boarded in squares formed by small carved moulded ribs with decorated bosses at the intersections. Stained glass is present in two windows on the south side of the nave and one on the north side. Stained glass in the east window, originally designed by Hardman to Pugin’s design, has been removed; later glass by Ward & Hughes and Powell & Sons remains. In 2017, the building was converted to a residence. The chancel space and part of the nave are retained as a living room, while the rest of the nave has been converted into an open-plan kitchen, a mezzanine lounge, and bedrooms and bathrooms. The tiled roof now incorporates a series of flush roof lights.
