Description

The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1821, is a notable example of Commissioners Gothic architecture. It has undergone alterations, including the addition of a two-bay chancel and vestry in 1900 and a roof dating from around 1850. The church is constructed of ashlar stone on a moulded plinth and features a Roman tile roof. It consists of four bays in a Tudor Gothick style, with three-light windows that have drips, weathered buttresses, and diagonal corner buttresses. The three-stage embattled tower is adorned with corner finials and diagonal buttresses, with geometric windows on each stage; the lower stage includes inscribed quatrefoils and a weathervane. The west door is a Tudor arch design and is studded.

The two-bay chancel has a slate roof and decorated-style windows, along with north and south chapels. Inside, there is an original internal west door, Tudor Gothick panelling, and a studded door to the stair turret. The west gallery retains its original side rails and panelling, featuring royal arms and a dedication inscription on the string. The chancel has a decorative scheme from 1897 to 1908, which includes both stencilled and applied paintings. There are two loose panels of stained glass, a late 19th-century east window, and small stained glass panels in the north porch chapel.

The church is set back from the High Street by a graveyard, which is enclosed by a rubble pennant wall approximately 3 feet high along the street. The original graveyard wall to the west is about 5 to 6 feet high, made of pennant rubble with ironstone and oceas pennant buttresses.
