Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built between 1844 and 1845 by architects Stevens and Alexander from London. It features coursed, knapped flint with Caen stone dressings and a roof made of concrete interlocking tiles. The church is designed in a perpendicular style, with a nave that includes aisles, a south porch, and a chancel. The west end of the nave and aisle is supported by triple offset and pinnacled buttresses, topped with a double gable. Below a large five-light window, there is a plank and stud door with a label surround. The aisles have smaller three-light windows at the west end, while arched two-light windows are found elsewhere, along with square-headed two-light clerestory windows. The gabled south porch has arched and hooded surrounds for both the outer and inner doors. Simple offset buttresses are present at the east ends of the nave and aisles, as well as an eastern bell gable. The chancel is small and plain, projecting from the main structure.

Inside, the church serves as both a place of worship and a church hall, featuring a panelled entrance lobby that connects both areas. The interior includes a large double chamfered arcade supported by octagonal moulded piers, with a similar channel arch above. Notable fittings include a pulpit and lectern made of very dark varnished wood, richly adorned with figurative sculpture, created in 1867 by J E Lock-Beveridge. The church was built at a cost of £3,000 and has seating for 770. It is situated on land donated by the D'Este family of Mount Albion House, who were the children of Prince Frederick Augustus and Lady Augusta Murray.
