Description
The Church of Holy Trinity is a Grade II* Anglican parish church located in Landcross. It dates back to the 15th century and is constructed of coursed slatestone rubble, with the northern side rendered. The church features a gabled slate roof and an early 19th-century bell cupola on the west, which is clad in slate hanging and topped with a ball finial on a pyramidal roof. The structure includes a nave and a chancel.
The east gable wall showcases curved timbers at ceiling height and has a hood mould over a three-light Perpendicular window with panel tracery. The two-bay south wall has label moulds over two and three-light mullioned windows with trefoiled square heads; the heads of the three-light windows were restored in the late 19th century. A late 19th-century gabled porch features a chamfered pointed-arched doorway, and there is a label mould over a similar three-light trefoil-headed window in the west gable.
Inside, the church boasts a 15th-century waggon roof with moulded ribs throughout, while the chancel roof is adorned with finely-carved vine trails and two angels. Notable fittings include early 17th-century panelling and 16th-century linenfold panelling at the rear of the reredos. The pulpit features early 16th-century decoratively-carved panels set in a mid-19th-century frame. The church also has fine 16th-century bench ends with carved tracery, blank shields under cinquefoiled arches, and carved heads and figures. The floor is laid with 15th to 16th-century tiles.
A 12th-century cushion-shaped font is set on a column with cable moulding, located in the west gable wall and flanked by reset 16th-century linenfold panels and 17th-century engaged balusters. The west wall displays 18th-century Royal Arms. Monuments within the church include a slatestone slab for Anthony Clifford, who died in 1649, located next to the pulpit, along with 17th to 18th-century ledger stones and a tablet for John Wills, who died in 1861, in the nave. The stained glass features plain glass with coloured borders, presented by John Ford in 1870.
