Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church that dates back to the 12th century, with a north aisle added in the 14th century and restorations made around 1845 by Benjamin Ferrey. It is constructed from unknapped flint with stone dressings and features an old plain-tile roof, with wood shingles on the tower. The church has a three-bay nave, a north tower, a two-bay north aisle, and a three-bay chancel. To the left of the nave, there is a blocked Romanesque doorway. The nave contains two 2-light Y-tracery windows in the center and to the right, along with a plank door at the center of the chancel. The chancel has a 2-light Y-tracery window to the left and a quatrefoil window to the right, as well as a 3-light Reticulated tracery window on the right return. The left return features a studded plank door with a 2-centred arch and hood mould at the end of the nave, along with a 2-light Y-tracery window above it. The square tower on the left has a rectangular glazed opening and shingles on the top stage, topped with a pyramidal plain-tile roof. At the rear, there is a blocked Romanesque doorway in the center of the aisle, a 2-light Y-tracery window to the left of center, and a lancet window to the left of the chancel, with a 2-light Y-tracery window to the right.

Inside, the chancel floor features reset medieval tiles, and there is a 19th-century piscina to the right of the chancel, along with 19th-century stained glass. The chancel arch is Early English in style with a 2-centre shape and a hood mould. The aisle has a 2-bay arcade with a transitional column in the center and a half-column to the left. A Romanesque font bears an inscription in Lombardic letters that reads "(Fon)te sacro lotum vel mundat gratia totum, vel non est sacramenti mundacio plena." There is also a brass on the nave floor commemorating Benert Engliss, dating from around 1360. The nave features a 15th-century roof with moulded ribs and decorative carved bosses.
