Description

The Church of Holy Trinity is a Perpendicular style church built in 1845 by R D Chantrell. It comprises a nave, aisles, a west tower, and a chancel. The church is constructed of ashlar with a slate roof, coped with kneelers. It features six bays to the aisles and one to the chancel, with cusped two-light square-headed windows separated by offset buttresses. The east window is of three lights with a label and angel stops. The two-stage west tower has diagonal buttresses, a moulded arch doorway on the south side, and a door with blind tracery. Above the doorway are two-light bell openings, and the tower is topped with a battlemented parapet and four crocketed pinnacles. Inside, the roof is of open timber construction and arch-braced. A west gallery was formerly present but has been removed. Stalls were installed in 1956, made in the workshop of Thompson of Kilburn. A plaque by the door records a grant from the Incorporated Church Building Society towards 500 free sittings.
