Description
The Church of Holy Trinity is a church built in 1840 by H.E. Kendall, with the east end completed around 1860. It is designed in the Norman Revival style. The building is constructed of grey brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a four-bay nave and an apsidal chancel, along with a north porch, transepts to the north and south, and twin towers at the east end. The church has arched lancet windows made of yellow brick, with stepped surrounds and a brick dentil eaves band. The transept ends are adorned with machicolated arcading. The eastern towers are round, topped with octagonal structures and crowning weathervanes.
Inside, the church features Victorian tiled floors and whitewashed walls. The apse arch is decorated with roll mouldings, and the eastern capitals of the piers are designed in the shape of a Star of David, supported by tapering piers that lead to corbel heads. The piers in the transepts have scalloped capitals. The church includes 19th-century pews and a 20th-century stone pulpit.
