Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church built in 1837, constructed from ashlar with a purple slate roof. It features a three-stage west tower, a five-bay nave with a south porch, and a short L-shaped chancel, all designed in an Early English style. The tower includes angle buttresses, lancet windows at the belfry stage, a wooden clock face, and a battlemented parapet. The nave has board double doors leading to a gabled porch, which has a datestone above the lintel, kneelers, gable coping, and stone gutters. It also features lancet windows and a three-light east window in the chancel. The gable copings, ridge finial on the nave, and a cross on the chancel's east end add to its architectural detail. Inside, the aisleless nave has a moulded ceiling cornice and a four-centred chancel arch. There is possibly an original font made of stone with a moulded base and cap and a small bowl, although it is no longer in use. The church has late 19th and 20th-century fittings. It is said to have been designed by a young lady from the area, and in 1901, the interior underwent improvements.
