Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1844 by John and Benjamin Green. It is constructed of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a chamfered plinth, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The church is designed in the Romanesque style and includes a west tower, a nave, an apse, and a south porch.
The nave has five bays, with the porch located in the left bay. The doorway features a keystone dated 1844. The church has one-light windows with dripstones and a sill band, along with flat angle buttresses and a heavy modillion cornice. The apse exhibits similar architectural details. The three-storey west tower contains one-light windows on the ground and first floors, as well as paired, louvred bell openings. It is capped with a modillion cornice and a pyramidal roof.
Inside, the church boasts an open timber roof supported by arched braces. An elaborate Gothic reredos with crocketed finials enhances the interior, along with light-oak seating, a pulpit, and choir stalls dating from around 1890, which have a simple design that appears later than their date. In the apse, stone tablets are carved with the Ten Commandments, the creed, and the Lord's Prayer. A wood panel over the tower arch is inscribed with a note stating, "This chapel was erected in the year 1844. It contains 182 sittings, and in consequence of a grant from the incorporated society for promoting the enlargement, building and repairing of churches and chapels, the whole of that number are hereby declared to be free and unappropriated for ever." Additionally, a Roman altar is located in the porch.
