Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is a church built in 1836 for Giles Redmayne. It is constructed of stucco with stone dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a six-bay nave with a short chancel and a south-west tower, which is actually positioned on the south side. The exterior includes pilaster buttresses and a corbelled frieze, with coped gables on the nave. The tower has set-back buttresses and string courses, with weathering above the second stage. There is a round-headed window on the west side and a south entrance featuring a single order and a studded door. The second stage of the tower has two slots on each face, while the bell stage includes two-light round-headed louvred bell openings. The nave is adorned with round-headed windows, with three on the south side and two on the north side, featuring later 19th-century two-light tracery with transoms. The west side has a combination of one, two, and one-light windows, topped with a stepped string course and a roundel. The west bay on the north side is recessed and has a gabled porch. The chancel has a hipped roof and a three-light traceried east window, along with a north gabled vestry and a taller flat-roofed organ loft with a stack.

Inside, the church features a deep arch-braced roof with traceried spandrels. The east bay of the nave includes a traceried timber screen and stalls that are open to the center. The chancel arch is decorated with roll moulding and columns that have scalloped capitals. There is traceried panelling and a reredos, along with an octagonal font inscribed and set on a squat round shaft. The church also contains some notable 19th-century stained glass in the north and south windows, as well as decorative panels on the west side.
