Description
Holy Trinity Church is a disused parish church built in 1846 for Squire Rodd of Trebartha. It is constructed from snecked local stone with a granite plinth and granite dressings, topped with a slate roof that has a lower section over the chancel. The church features a nave and chancel, north and south transepts, a south porch, a vestry, and a belcote at the junction of the nave and chancel.
The exterior includes a small belcote with a corbelled octagonal shape, which has four pierced openings and a conical roof topped with a finial. The church has 19th-century three-light windows with Perpendicular tracery in 4-centred arched openings located in the gable ends of the nave and chancel, as well as in the transepts and the north and south walls of the nave. These windows are currently boarded up due to the church's disuse. The gabled south porch features a 19th-century inner door.
Inside, the church has 19th-century plastered walls and an arch-braced roof. The roofs of the nave and transepts are of similar height, while the chancel has a lower roof. The chancel arch is supported by roughly dressed granite columns with moulded caps and bases. There is an octagonal font with a bowl decorated with quatrefoils and crosses, along with simple 19th-century furnishings. The separate parish of Bolventor was established in 1846.
