Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church is a church dating from 1870-71, with a clock tower added in 1903 and a vestry in 1935. The principal benefactor was Lady Catherine Vernon-Harcourt. The building is constructed of coursed, tooled stone with ashlar bands and dressings, with the upper part of the clock tower being timber-framed with pebble-dash infill, and has a plain tile roof with decorative bands.

The church is a 3-bay nave with a north aisle, a south-west porch raised as a clock tower, a large gabled south-east window, and a gabled bell-cote at the east end. There is also an apsidal chancel with a north vestry, and a large vestry addition to the west. The architectural style is early English, featuring a chamfered plinth, offset buttresses, a stepped roll-moulded sill-string, a chancel impost band, and pointed-arched doors and windows; the nave windows have hoodmoulds and plate-tracery. Ashlar coping is present to the verges, and decorative, dated metal rainwater pipes with hoppers are fitted.

The south side of the nave features a 3-stage porch/clock tower with angle buttresses, a hollow-moulded entrance with a large lantern above, two chamfered windows, a clock face and louvres to three sides of the upper stage, and a pyramidal roof with vents and decorative ridge tiles. The inner door, accessed by four stone steps, has a double board door with decorative strap hinges and nail-head decoration to the corbelled arch of the moulded architrave. The bellcote has two bells in pointed-arched openings with attached columns, a quatrefoil over, and a Celtic cross finial. A Caernarvon-arched door and windows are found on the north side. The chancel has six chamfered lancet windows and a decorative iron cross.

Inside, there is a 2-bay aisle arcade and corbelled dwarf columns supporting the chancel arch. The nave roof has collared scissor-braced trusses with corbels to rafter supports, while the chancel vault is ribbed and decoratively painted. A elaborate stone reredos with three tessellated niches is present, along with decorative iron balusters to the altar rail and glazed and encaustic tiles to the sanctuary steps. An octagonal font is also located within. The church contains bench pews, with the easternmost pews having panelled front and top-rail pierced with quatrefoils.

It is a good-quality rural church dating from 1870.
