Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church constructed between 1851 and 1852 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, with a vestry added in the late 19th or early 20th century. It is built of coursed knapped flint with ashlar quoins and dressings and has plain tile roofs, largely replaced with concrete tiles, with decorative ridge tiles on the vestry. The church is in the 14th-century Gothic style. It features a 5-bay nave with a north porch, a west spire, and a separately-roofed 3-bay south aisle with a side chapel; a lower, 2-bay chancel with a north transept; and a separately-roofed 2-bay vestry parallel with the side chapel.

The design incorporates a chamfered ashlar plinth, ashlar buttresses with offsets, and pointed-arched doors and windows of 1, 2, or 3 lights with cusped tracery and hoodmoulds with carved stops. Raised verges are topped with gableted and cross finials. The north porch features an entrance of 2 chamfered orders, carved gableted kneelers, and an internal wooden double door with decorative iron hinges. The spire, rising from the west end, has a clock face dated 1887 on the north side and a timber bell stage with open cusped panels, culminating in a broached swept spire with a weather-cock. The chancel transept has a 3-light plate-tracery window and an octagonal gable chimney. The east window is of 3 lights with a cinquefoil design above. The vestry has a tall lateral chimney with coupled octagonal shafts.

Inside, the aisle arcade consists of 2 chamfered orders on octagonal columns. The chancel arch has ball-flowers carried on decorated corbels. The nave and aisle have waggon roofs, the nave roof having corbelled cusped braces. Cusped tracery appears in the spire frame. The chancel has a pointed-arched vault. The interior features red and black floor tiles, a tessellated reredos set in polished marble with flanking arcades, a carved octagonal ashlar font, and an ashlar relief carving of St George commemorating 2nd Lieutenant Boyd Burnet Geake, who died in 1916. A marble memorial in a rococo style commemorates the First World War. The east window was created by James Powell & Son (Whitefriars) Ltd.
