Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built between 1885 and 1886, with the tower completed in 1890, designed by William Dawes of Manchester. It is constructed from coursed squared rock-faced gritstone with gritstone ashlar dressings, featuring plain tile roofs and stone coped gables. The church comprises a nave with a south porch, a chancel, a south vestry, and a northeast tower topped with a short stone broach spire. It is designed in the Early English style, characterized by pairs and triplets of lancet windows in the nave and cusped lancets in the chancel. The east window consists of three stepped lancets within a super-arch, while the west window features two two-light windows with quatrefoils above and a cinquefoil in a circle above.
The tower has three stages with diagonal buttresses, including a polygonal stair turret on the northeast buttress. It has paired lancet bell-openings and a spire that includes one tier of lucarnes with cross finials. The base of the northeast buttress is inscribed with the date 1885. There is a bellcote on the eastern gable of the nave and a paired chimneystack rising from the eaves at the southeast corner of the nave.
Inside, the church has a plain interior with substantial timber roofs. The northeasternmost window of the nave contains stained glass created in 1905 by Sir Ninian Comper. Additionally, above the south door inside the church, there are two benefaction boards dated 1831 from the old church.
