Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a church, built between 1829 and 1832, designed by J.C. Loudon and later altered in 1870 by Paley and Austin. It has since been converted for use as a sports centre and is disused. The church is constructed of limestone rubble with sandstone dressings and slate roofs.

The internal layout includes a nave, north and south aisles, a north-west tower with a stone spire, and a lower chancel. The aisles have five bays, defined by buttresses, and feature chamfered lancet windows. A doorway is located in the western bay of the south aisle, and another doorway with window above is on the north side. The west front has a triple-stepped lancet window above a moulded pointed doorway. The tower has angle buttresses, a band of trefoils above paired lancet bell openings, corner pinnacles, and a ribbed spire. The chancel has a single trefoiled light to the north and south, and a triple-stepped lancet east window.

Internally, the space has been subdivided by concrete block walls, studwork and plasterboard partitions, and false ceilings. The front of the west gallery, previously added by Paley and Austin, has been removed. Above the inserted ceilings, the original five-bay nave arcades remain, consisting of moulded pointed arches springing from octagonal piers with moulded caps. A moulded chancel arch connects to an arch spanning the nave near its west end. The flat ceiling is supported by tie beams carried on corbelled brackets.

The chancel contains a sedilia with twin seats, a piscina, and a reredos made of marble and alabaster. Stained glass is present in the west and east windows, and some of the aisle windows. One north aisle window is reputedly by William Morris and another by Kempe.
