Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1853 as a chapel-of-ease by Benjamin Ferrey at a cost of £3,000. It features coursed squared limestone with a slate roof and is designed in the Early English style. The church includes a chancel, vestry, nave, north aisle, and south porch.

The chancel has three bays, with a triple lancet window on the east side and lancet windows on the south. A string course runs at the level of the springing of the arches, serving as hood moulds over the windows. The north vestry has a gabled roof and a three-light window facing north, along with a stone internal stack. The north aisle, which abuts the vestry, features a double-chamfered door to the north-east with a hood mould, coupled lancet windows to the north, and a two-light window to the west with plate tracery and a hood mould.

The nave includes two-light windows on the south and west, similar in style to the others, and a lancet window to the east of the porch, all equipped with hood moulds. The south door is double-chamfered and has a hood mould, set within a gabled timber porch on low stone walls. At the west end of the nave, there are two lancet windows and a circular sexfoiled window in the gable above, all within a large relieving arch that supports a bell-cote on the west gable. The bell-cote features a stepped gable with three arches for the bells. The building has a chamfered plinth, chamfered stone eaves, and stone-coped gables with kneelers.

A 20th-century church hall addition to the north aisle is noted as not being of special architectural interest. Inside, the nave has a four-bay arcade with circular pillars and double-chamfered arches, along with 19th-century stained glass windows in the nave and chancel.
