Description
Holy Trinity Church is a finely detailed T-plan Gothic church of Church of Ireland denomination, located at Cloghmore near Rosslea in County Fermanagh. Built around 1828 and recorded on the 1834 Ordnance Survey map, the church is set within a churchyard containing 18th and 19th-century memorials and enclosed to the road by a cement-dashed wall with pitched stone copings.
The church is ecclesiastically aligned with its entrance porch to the west gable. The principal elevation faces west. Walls are cement-dashed with dressed stone quoins and sandstone dressings to openings. The pitched natural slate roof features an advanced stone eaves course and stone skews, with metal rainwater goods.
The west gable is raised beyond eaves level and surmounted by a tall dressed stone bellcote with stepped buttresses, a cusped finial and bell. The bell operates by a pull chain that enters the left pitch of the entrance porch roof. The gable is buttressed, with buttresses rising above eaves level and surmounted by pointed finials with bulbous stops, resting on a stone plinth. At eaves level, a stringcourse runs between each buttress.
The entrance porch is detailed as the main block with similar buttresses and stringcourse, topped by a central finial. Its west face contains a lancet-headed window set within a chamfered reveal with cill and hood mould. The window is cast-iron lattice containing three lancet panes, each margin-paned with a multi-foil roundel in the spandrel. The left cheek of the porch is blank; the right cheek contains the entrance door, set within a point-headed opening with chamfered reveal that sweeps out to the bottom. The door is modern tongue-and-groove sheeted, accessed by a single stone step.
The north and south elevations of the nave each have a tall lancet window. The north and south transepts are identical, detailed as the main block with stringcourse at eaves level and dressed stepped quoins. The west and east faces of each transept contain windows with two panes and a quatrefoil in the spandrel. The end gables of each transept have a lancet-headed door with a small window above. Above the window on the south transept is a louvred lancet opening with cill and chamfered reveal.
The rear east gable of the main block is slightly advanced from the transepts and has a central window detailed as the nave windows but leaded and coloured with external plastic protective glazing.
The churchyard is enclosed to the road by a cement-dashed wall with pitched stone copings. A pair of square-section ashlar gate piers with pitched copings support a pair of cast-iron gates. The churchyard contains several 18th and 19th-century stone memorials, some with wrought-iron enclosures. A notable memorial to the south of the church, dated 1754 and commemorating Thomas Johnston, bears carved imagery including skull and crossbones, a lock, a coffin and a window.
