Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity, located in Lyne, was built in 1849 and designed by F. J. H. Francis. It is constructed of coursed stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The church follows a cruciform plan, comprising a four-bay nave, a south porch, transepts, a crossing tower, a two-bay chancel, and a north vestry. The architectural style is 13th century Gothic, evidenced by a chamfered plinth, offset buttresses, pointed-arched openings, and windows featuring lancet or Geometric tracery with cill strings. Hoodmoulds are present, some with headstops, and gables are topped with corbelled ashlar coping and cross finials.

The west window of the nave is a triple lancet, with a blind quatrefoil above and a First World War memorial stone below. The south side of the nave features a gabled porch with an opening consisting of three orders on columns, flanked by paired lancets. The north side mirrors this design. The transepts have diagonal buttresses and triple lancet gable windows. A moulded doorway with columns and flanked lancets is on the west side of the north transept. The crossing tower has an upper stage with a pointed-arch arcade and slender columns, featuring leafy stops to the hoodmould. It also has blind louvred belfry openings and an iron wind vane.

The chancel's south side includes steps leading to a narrow doorway with a quoined moulded surround and a continuous hoodmould that serves as the cill string below a single cusped light with a trefoil above. The east window is a triple lancet. A later flat-roofed addition extends from the vestry, which is situated at the angle with the north transept and has a gable stack with offsets.

Inside, the crossing arches rest on square piers and plain filleted columns. The crossing vault is ribbed and quadripartite, featuring a foliate central boss. The roofs are timbered, utilizing King-post trusses with common rafters and through purlins, except in the chancel, which features arch-braced, collared, principal-rafter trusses. A polychromatic altar podium is complemented by a Gothic-style wooden altar rail and a stone reredos depicting the Last Supper flanked by commandment tablets. There's also a stone pulpit with traceried panels on an octagonal base. Original box pews remain. The north transept and nave doors have traceried panels on their inner sides. A later font replaces the original, which is now located in the churchyard to the south of the nave.
