Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is an Anglican parish church located on Sutton Wick Road in Bishop Sutton. It was built in 1848, as indicated by a plaque from the Incorporated Church Building Society on the interior west wall. Designed by S.C. Fripp, the church features squared and coursed lias stone with ashlar dressings, copings, and 20th-century slate roofs. The structure includes a nave, chancel, west belfry, north aisle, and south porch, all designed in a crude neo-Early English style.

The nave and chancel have simple pointed-headed lights with lozenge leaded panes, and the east window is tripartite. There are offset buttresses and a bracketed cornice. The west saddleback belfry has two-light bell openings in plate tracery, and the north aisle features two-light windows. The south porch has a trefoil-headed entrance, with shafts that have stiff-leaf capitals and a hoodmould with foliage stops, leading to a two-leaf plank door.

Inside, the church has a five-bay arcade that opens onto the north aisle, with open rafter roofs throughout. Notable fittings include an 1848 font, a pulpit, and later 19th-century figures on the reredos. The east window and one chancel south window contain 20th-century stained glass.
