Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is an Anglican parish church located on Main Street, built in 1841 by Sampson Kempthorne. It features a chancel added in 1887 and a tower added in 1919. The church is constructed from cut and squared Ham stone with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof between coped gables. It has a two-cell plan consisting of a 3-bay chancel and a 5-bay nave, along with a south-east lean-to vestry and a west tower.
The chancel is simple, with a plinth and angled corner buttresses. It has a triple-lancet east window with separate labels and a continued cill string, as well as a pointed arched north doorway. The vestry on the south side features a pointed-arched east door and two lancets without labels in the south wall. The nave is also very simple, with a chamfered plinth and single lancet windows without labels.
The tower is designed in three stages, featuring pecked stone band courses and a plain chamfer-corbelled parapet with corner pinnacles. Each face of the tower has three pointed stones, and the lowest stage includes a chamfered pointed arched west door. The second stage has a west lancet with a label and a door on the south side accessed by a reinforced concrete stair with an iron pipe handrail. The third stage contains pointed arched windows with labels, featuring timber inserts of Y-tracery and decorative pierced baffles.
Inside, the chancel has a plain arch-braced collar truss roof, while the nave features queen post trusses. The chancel is unplastered ashlar, with segmental labels and flowerstops on the doors, and a wide 13th-century style chancel arch. The nave walls are plastered with a flush-panel timber dado. Notable fittings include a fine reredos and an octagonal font in the style of the 15th century, presented in 1891, which may have replaced an earlier font located outside by the chancel door.
