Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is an Anglican parish church that dates back to the 14th and 15th centuries, with significant restorations completed in 1826 and 1843. It is constructed from coursed and squared rubble and features slate roofs with coped verges and finials. The church includes a nave with a south porch, a north aisle, a chancel with a south vestry, and an unbuttressed west tower that has two stages. The tower has a rubble parapet with a moulded coping, a pyramidal lead roof with cresting and a weathervane, a clock on the south side, a 19th-century three-light west window, and a west door. The bell-chamber windows are two-light, each with a cusped head.

The nave has three bays with two-light windows that feature reticulated tracery, while the single-bay chancel has two-light windows and a three-light east window, all designed in a similar style. The porch contains a 14th-century outer doorway with 20th-century ribbed doors. The north aisle, added in 1826, has three bays with two-light windows and large later buttresses. The vestry, built in 1843, follows the same style and includes a small two-light window.

Inside, the church is notable for its elaborate roofs, likely from the 15th century. The nave roof features king posts, cusped struts, and cusped windbraces, while the chancel roof has queen posts and cusped windbraces. There is a fine 14th-century double sedilia with ogee-headed arches, fretwork cusping, small grotesque heads, and pinnacles on either side and in the center, along with a piscina that has ball-flower decoration. The north aisle has a three-bay arcade with narrow piers and four-centred arches. Both the tower and chancel arches were altered in the 19th century.

The church contains a lead-lined 14th-century octagonal font with a 19th-century painted text and cover, a brass memorial to Margret Dyer from 1583, and two 17th-century coffin stools. There are late 19th-century choir stalls and pews, as well as a large monument from 1826 by Reeves of Bath. Remnants of medieval stained glass can be seen in the south window of the nave, alongside some 20th-century stained glass, while the remaining windows feature simple leaded lights. Two small metal plaques in the chancel commemorate the gift of former stained glass windows by Rev. John Horner of Mells Park in Easter 1845, although the glass is no longer present.
