Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church featuring elements from various periods, including fragments of 12th-century masonry, a 14th-century chancel, a 15th-century nave and west tower, and a 16th-century south porch. Much of the structure was restored in the 19th century. The church is built from coursed limestone and ironstone rubble, with dressed blocks used for the tower. The nave has a slate roof, while the chancel and porch have tiled roofs.

The west tower, which has two stages, is supported by diagonal buttresses and features a plain parapet. It includes two-light cusped openings with flat hoodmoulds for the bell-chamber and a two-light traceried window on the west side. The nave has a plinth, a plain ironstone parapet, and two bays of two-light traceried windows, one of which is located on the south side and retains its original hoodmould with carved head stops. The north door also has a similar hood. The south door features a moulded arch.

The porch has a 16th-century roof with curved wind-braces, a small slit window on the south side, and stone benches. The chancel contains one bay of two-light windows with ogee tracery, while the south wall has a small 19th-century doorway and an additional two-light traceried window. The east window is a three-light perpendicular window.

Inside, there is a tall triple chamfered tower arch, and the nave windows have reveals with original chamfered edges. The chancel arch is double chamfered and rests on corbels with carved heads. The roofs and sedilia were added in the 19th century.

Notable fittings include a fine late 15th-century hexagonal font with a wide battlemented basin and heraldic shields on the sides, set in niches with ogee canopied heads, crockets, and finials, along with a moulded and chamfered base. There is also a 15th-century alabaster panel over the altar depicting the Crucifixion, fragments of 15th-century glass, a 17th-century credence table, and a carved door to the aumbry. Other fittings and glass date from the 19th to early 20th centuries.
