Description

The former Church of Holy Trinity is now redundant and dates mostly from around 1500. The north wall was rebuilt in the late 18th century, and the chancel was partly rebuilt in 1859. The walls are constructed of stone and flint banding with stone details, and the interior is plastered. The roofs are now covered in corrugated asbestos, except for the porch, which still has a stone slate roof. The building includes a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch. The upper part of the tower, dating from the 18th century, is finished with battlements. The south elevation of the nave features square-headed windows from around 1500, which have arched lights. The porch has a segmental-arched doorway and a parapet at the gable. The east window displays Perpendicular tracery with ogee-arched lights. The original chancel arch has been replaced by a large opening in a 19th-century brick wall, and there is a modern light roof structure. The tower houses two bells, one medieval and one from the 17th century. The pews are mainly from the 19th century but retain some carved ends from around 1500. The churchyard contains some 19th-century monuments, although none are of particular interest.
