Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church dated 1823, designed by Richard Carver. It features a rendered and scribed exterior that resembles ashlar, with freestone dressings, a weathered string course at the plinth and first floor levels, and buttresses with offsets. The building has a moulded cornice, a parapet with coping, and a hipped slate roof topped by a central arcaded bell-cote and a cupola with a 20th-century cruciform finial.

The church has an octagonal plan with a projecting wing at right angles to each side and a shallow chancel added in 1914. It is built in the Gothic Revival style, with four-centred arch window openings on each face featuring Y-tracery, dripmoulds, and simple leaded lights, along with coloured glass. The east window has a pointed arch and four lights, including two simple stained glass panels.

The entrance features a central flat-roofed ashlar porch with angle buttresses and four-centred arch openings at the front and sides, leading to paired doors with tracery. Inside, the church has a galleried interior with a ribbed plaster ceiling, dado panelling, and 19th-century pews. There is a 19th-century organ by Vowles of Bristol, a mid-19th-century wall monument, and an octagonal font from 1895 with a cover.
