Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a Grade I listed building located in Millom. It dates back to the 12th century, with the nave and chancel originating from this period. The east window is from the 13th century, while the south arcade and south aisle, known as the Hudleston Chapel, are from the early 13th and early 14th centuries, respectively. The building underwent restorations in the 19th century, with a porch added in 1906 and the chancel widened in 1930. Constructed from stone rubble with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, the church features a three-bay nave that includes two round-headed windows and a gabled porch with a Norman-style entrance consisting of three orders, while the original entrance had one order. The west end has a single light above a blocked arch, a gabled bellcote, and a gabled west end of the aisle with a vesica window.

The south elevation has three bays with three-light windows and end gabled buttresses, one window is blocked, and there is a blocked round-headed entrance. The east window features five lights, while the chancel's east window has three lights. The north elevation includes a small 12th-century window and a vestry under a catslide roof with a three-light straight-headed west window. The north-east angle has re-set stones displaying Anglo-Saxon interlace. The south elevation has straight-headed windows with two cusped pointed lights and label moulds; the Priest's door has a three-centred head with three reset window heads above. There are two 18th-century headstones located to the south and east.

Inside, the church has a four-bay arcade supported by octagonal and round piers. The late 14th-century roofs feature arch-braced collar trusses, and the chancel arch is corbelled from the 12th century. The interior includes box pews and a west gallery on four round piers, added in 1930. The aisle contains two altar tombs: one for Sir John Hudleston (died 1494) and his wife, featuring alabaster effigies, and another tomb from the 16th century with shields on the sides and a gaming board cut into the top, likely belonging to Sir Richard Hudlestone (died 1505). There is also a wall monument for Sir Joseph Hudlestone (died 1700) and his wife (died 1714), designed with Ionic pilasters and a pediment, along with a 14th-century piscina. The chancel features a partly 1630 altar rail with turned balusters, a reredos with twisted columns, likely from the 17th century, a 12th-century piscina, and an aumbry, as well as a fragment of a 15th-century wooden effigy resting on the window ledge.
