Description
The Church of Holy Trinity is a building of multiple periods, originating in the 13th century with subsequent additions and alterations through the 14th, 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries. It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof. The church comprises a three-story west tower, a nave with a south aisle and south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry.
The west tower, dating to the 15th century, features offset diagonal buttresses on its west face, a three-light window with trefoil-headed lights and hollow-chamfered moulding, a light vent on the south side of the ringing floor, two-light chamfered-mullion belfry openings on all four sides, and an embattled parapet with crocketed finials. The north side of the nave has four 19th-century windows. The south aisle has offset diagonal buttresses and a late 16th- to early 17th-century west window of three lights with round heads, lacking tracery but featuring trefoil carving in the spandrels, set under a segmental arch with a label. Three early 14th-century south windows are each of two trefoil-headed lights. The east window of the south aisle is a Perpendicular style window of three lights with cinquefoil heads. The south porch has offset diagonal buttresses, a pointed-arched doorway with hollow-chamfered moulding, a gable cross and stone benches inside. A quoined south doorway with a pointed arch provides access to the nave, featuring an ovolo moulding to the chamfer and a small foliate cross on the right jamb. The chancel has two late 13th-century lancet windows and one 15th-century window of two trefoil-headed lights on its south side; a 19th-century three-light east window with Curvilinear tracery; and two 19th-century three-light cinquefoiled Curvilinear windows on the north side, serving the chancel and vestry. Ashlar coping and gable crosses are present on both the nave and chancel.
Inside, the south arcade consists of four double-chamfered arches dying into octagonal piers without capitals or bases. The tower arch is low with almost straight sides. The 19th-century chancel arch has deep hollow mouldings and lacks capitals, with responds on low Perpendicular-style bases. The chancel east and north windows are shafted internally. A 14th-century piscina in the chancel has an ogee head with flat crockets and the letters "TP". Victorian encaustic tiles, dated 1878, are present. The south aisle features a small plain piscina at a low level, also with Victorian encaustic tiles. The lintel to the south doorway is a reused Anglo-Saxon cross shaft. Small shields of painted glass are set within the tracery of the south aisle windows, possibly of medieval origin.
