Description
Holy Trinity Church, built in 1857 by architect J. B. Clacy, with later work by C. Buckeridge in 1863 and the tower added in 1882, is designed in the 13th century Gothic style. The church features red brickwork with Bath stone dressings on the outside and yellow brickwork with flush red brick banding on the inside. It has a nave and aisles with four bays, an apse at the chancel and north chapel, and a square end to the south chapel, along with a western tower.
The main elevation, facing west, includes a central entrance through the tower, which has three stages with triple lancets above a traceried window and above the doorway. The tower is flanked by coupled corner buttresses and topped with a broach spire covered in shingles. On either side, the steep gables of the nearly full-height aisles feature large windows with Geometrical tracery and internal buttresses. The arcade is supported on circular columns with attached Purbeck shafts on the north side and plain four-lobed columns on the south side. The aisles extend half a bay on each side of the tower, with the northern recess housing the font.
Inside, the chancel is richly decorated with colored bands, carved capitals, and moulded ribs supporting the quadripartite vaulting. It also includes a stone reredos in front of blind arcading, trefoils above coupled lights for the five apse windows, mosaic wall panels, a piscina, sedilia, and patterned tile flooring on several stepped levels. The nave features an exposed timber roof with arch-braced collars and two dormers on each side.
