Description
Holy Trinity Church is a parish church dating from the 14th century, with significant restoration and additions made in 1888. The church features an aisleless nave and chancel, along with a north transept and a south porch. It is constructed from coursed flint with stone dressings and has a tiled roof. The roof is plain, with a stone bell turret located above the west gable. The old north door of the nave has been filled in, and the transept, added in 1888, is made of flint with brick quoins, bands, and a plinth. The windows are designed with reticulate tracery, consisting of two or three lights.
Inside, notable features include a 14th-century octagonal font, roof trusses of the nave with a barrel vaulted plaster ceiling, and fragments of old glass in the window on the south side of the nave. There are also a few small wall monuments dating from 1809, 1811, and 1819, as well as 18th-century floor slabs in the nave. A painted benefactions board from the early 19th century and a 17th-century chest are also present.
