Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is an Anglican parish church located in Painswick, built in 1831 by Charles Baker and reconstructed by Benjamin Bucknell in 1869. The entrance front is made of ashlar limestone, while the rest of the building features squared coursed and dressed stone. It has a slate roof and consists of a nave with a gable spirelet, a west porch, a north aisle, and a chancel. The low-pitched crenellated west gable is adorned with two 2-light plate tracery windows and a small central 6-foil rose window above a hipped porch with a shouldered door opening. The corners have pilasters, and the side of the nave facing the road has four 2-light plate tracery windows and a corbel table. The chancel includes two small lancets and one triple lancet. The stone spirelet features a square base, ogee openings on each face, and an octagonal finish over gablets. There is a clock below the spirelet dated 188-. The church has group value with the nearby school and schoolhouse.

Inside, the church has a 4-bay nave with a boarded ceiling divided into three facets, supported by bracketed principals resting on stone corbels. The chancel has a pointed barrel ceiling. The entrance door features a deep embrasure beneath a wheel window. The interior includes round columns with cushion caps supporting the 4-bay arcade, a stone floor, a sanctuary rail, a pulpit, and an octagonal font topped with a high pyramidal capping.
