Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Grade II* listed church located in Ash Priors, dating from the 15th century, with a south aisle added in 1833 and restoration completed in 1874. It features red sandstone random rubble masonry and slate roofs, with a 19th-century tiled chancel. The church has a two-bay aisled nave, north and south aisle chapels, the latter of which contains the organ and has been extended by one bay to include a heated vestry.
The west tower is three stages high, crenellated, and topped with a pyramid slate roof and weather vane. It has diagonal buttresses and a square-headed Tudor arch doorway adorned with floral decoration in the spandrels, dating to the early 19th century. The tower also features a 4-light cinquefoil perpendicular window and 2-light bell openings with Somerset tracery, along with a higher crenellated square stair tower at the southeast corner. The late 19th-century gabled porch has three light trefoil-headed perpendicular windows.
Inside, the church has rendered walls and standard perpendicular arcades with wagon roofs. Notable features include an ogee-headed hagioscope, floor tiles in the chancel, a polychrome marble 3-bay crocketed reredos with finials, painted and gilded wooden altar rails, a polychrome marble pulpit with a cast iron and brass handrail, and an octagonal font, all part of the 1874 restoration.
