Description
The Church of Holy Trinity is an Anglican parish church located on High Street in High Littleton. The church features a 15th-century west tower, while the rest of the structure was built between 1884 and 1888 by the architectural firm Wilson and Wilcox from Bath. It is constructed from squared and coursed rubble with stone dressings on the tower and finely dressed freestone for the rest of the building, topped with slate roofs. The layout includes a nave, chancel, west tower, north and south aisles, and a north porch.
The main body of the church exhibits a crude neo-Perpendicular style, characterized by two cusped light windows with pointed heads. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, a polygonal stair turret at the northeast corner, a blind parapet, and corner pinnacles. The west facade features a 19th-century two-light window in the Perpendicular style on the first stage, a blank second stage, and two cusped light openings under pointed heads and hoodmoulds at the bell stage. The other faces of the tower are blank.
Inside, the church has four bay nave arcades supported by Purbeck shafted piers and moulded pointed arches. The roof is a hammerbeam design with angel corbels, while the chancel and aisles have open rafter roofs. Notable fittings include a gilded and coloured wooden coat of arms from the George II period above the tower arch, as well as complete late 19th-century fittings, including stained glass, a pulpit, a font, and a reredos.
