Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1866, is a Grade II listed building located on Briggate in Knaresborough. It is constructed from gritstone with a Westmorland slate roof and is designed in the 14th-century Gothic style. The church features a north-west tower, a six-bay aisled nave with a clerestory and a north porch, and a three-bay chancel with a north vestry.
The tower consists of three stages with offset angle buttresses, and it has two and three-light windows along with a tall broach spire that includes lucarnes. The nave's porch is equipped with a double board door that has strap hinges. The aisles contain two-light trefoil-headed windows with quatrefoils beneath hoodmoulds, while the clerestory features three-light windows with shafts and lunettes under triple-headed hoodmoulds. The chancel windows are similar to those in the aisles.
Inside, the church has cylindrical arcade piers with foliate capitals that support double-chamfered pointed arches with head stops to the hoodmoulds. The chancel displays roll-moulding at the window sill level. An elaborate carved and gilded stone reredos features the heads of the Apostles and symbols of the Passion, with the east window flanked by mural paintings of saints and bishops. Additionally, there is a piscina and sedilia located at the east end of the north and south walls.
