Parish Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built between 1869 and 1870, located on a new site north of the village of West Lulworth. The architect responsible for its design was G. Hicks. Some stonework from the old church has been reused in the vestry.

The church features stone walls and tiled roofs, with gables that have parapets and stone copings. The nave consists of four bays and includes a north aisle and a chancel with a north vestry. At the west end of the nave is a tower, which has a base that forms a porch. The tower is composed of two stages and has a projecting stair turret on the west side. The upper stage contains a two-light belfry window in the west wall, while the lower stage features lancet windows. An entrance doorway with a moulded arch is located in the south wall, complemented by angle buttresses.

The south wall is buttressed, and the nave has two-light windows. The chancel has one two-light and one three-light window, all of which are traceried. The east wall of the chancel showcases a three-light traceried window, while the north wall is also buttressed. The aisle contains two-light traceried windows. The west wall has separate gables for the nave and aisle, featuring a two-light window in the aisle and a four-light window in the nave, both of which are traceried.

Inside, all roofs are made of pine. The nave has an arch-braced collar beam roof, the aisle has an arch-braced scissor truss roof, and the chancel features a boarded waggon roof. The north arcade is supported by circular columns with carved capitals. All internal fittings date from around 1869, including a stone pulpit and font. The church also contains some notable late 19th-century stained glass by Kempe. The churchyard is home to monuments that date from the 19th century and later.
