Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is an Anglican church built in 1857 by F.H. Pownall. It is constructed of knapped flint with ashlar dressings, and the roof features alternating plain and fish-scale tiles, complete with coped verges and cross finials. The church is designed in a geometric style and includes a nave with a bellcote, a chancel, a north vestry, and a south porch.

The heavily detailed timber porch sits on a stone plinth and has a pointed door flanked by marble columns and a hood mould with foliated terminals. The south side of the nave features 1-light and 2-light cusped lancets, along with a continuous moulded string course. The chancel contains cusped lancets and diagonal buttresses at the east end, while the 3-light east window is also in a geometric style, adorned with a hood mould that has foliated terminals. The north vestry has two chamfered pointed windows on the east wall and a shouldered-arched door to the north, accompanied by a Decorated circular window on the right. The north side of the nave has three cusped lancets, and the west end features a pointed window with 2-light plate tracery and a hood mould with terminals, supported by diagonal buttresses.

Inside, the church has brick walls decorated with bands and patterns made from vitrified brick. The nave boasts a scissor roof without bay divisions, and there is a charming arcade leading to the vestry from the chancel, supported by slender marble shafts. The church retains all its original fittings, including pews, a pulpit, a font, and choir stalls.
