Parish Church Of Holy Trinity

The Parish Church of Holy Trinity is a church built between 1845 and 1846, with a spire added in 1863, and a north-east chapel/vestry constructed in 1897 by C.E. Ponting. It is built of dressed stone with a slate roof, featuring stone gable copings with crosses on the nave and chancel gables.

The church comprises a west tower, a nave with a south porch, a north aisle, a chancel, and a north-east vestry. The three-stage west tower has diagonal buttresses and a plain parapet, with roll-moulded strings. A heavily moulded doorway with a pointed head leads to a two-leaf plank door with strap-hinges. There is a single square-headed light to the ringing chamber and two lancet lights to the bell-chamber. The spire is pyramidal in form, constructed of wooden shingles, with wood lucarnes with steep gables on each side.

The nave has four bays, divided by buttresses each with two set-offs. Keeled roll-moulding runs beneath the windows and at the springing, acting as hoods. The windows are single lancets with a deep chamfer. The south porch has a pointed-arch entrance with moulded jambs and a returned label. The inner door is a two-leaf plank door with ornamental hinges. The chancel has two bays of lancets with cusped heads and separate labels. It contains a priest's door on the south side, with a pointed head, and an east window comprised of three stepped lancets.

The north-east vestry is gabled to the east end, with coupled pointed lights to the east, featuring quatrefoil heads. A small stone porch with a pointed arch that becomes the jambs and an ogival parapet moulding shelters the north door. The north aisle has four bays under a pentice slate roof, with straight-chamfered lancets and buttresses in between.

Inside, the north arcade has four bays with octagonal piers and moulded capitals. The arches are pointed, with straight-chamfered and quadrant mouldings. The roof is arch-braced collar type, carried on stone corbels, trefoiled above the collar. The rafters are planked-in with imitation wind-bracing. The chancel arch features double-responds, moulded capitals, and a head. A font with a chamfered octagonal bowl, likely from the 15th century with modern repairs, has a base and stem from the 19th or 20th centuries. A stone, octagonal pulpit with a star of Jerusalem and IHS on the front panels dates to the 19th century. A 15th-century window head comprised of three cinquefoiled lights with panel tracery is fixed to the west wall. A fresco of Christ in Majesty above the chancel arch was painted by W.G. Rich in the 19th century.
