Entrance Walls And Railings To Holy Trinity Church

The entrance walls and railings to Holy Trinity Church were constructed with a central gate in 1712 and outer gates in 1813. The structure features a brown brick retaining wall with cement-rendered end piers that are panelled and topped with gables. Above this, there are wrought-iron gates and railings. The plinth retaining walls are approximately 1.5 metres high, with gate piers at the ends that rise to about 3.5 metres. The stone coping on the plinth walls supports spear-finialled railings, which include scrolled standard panels at intervals along the front.

At the east end of the church, paired gates lead to a flight of steps, adorned with scrolled work beneath a central finial and return railings that connect to the church wall. The central double gates facing the High Street are elaborate, featuring urn finials on flanking scroll work standards and twisted finials on scrolled crests atop each gate. There is also a further gateway at the west end of the church, which is under a scrolled and arched overthrow with a central lantern. Brick piers at the ends of the railings flank the steps leading up to the west end of the church.
