Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a 19th-century building constructed from roughly squared random rubble and topped with slate roofs. It features an aisle-less nave flanked by long transepts and a short chancel, all designed in the Perpendicular style. The west entrance has a plain chamfered shallow projecting panel with a 4-centred arched doorway. Above the doorway, there is a four-light window with a trefoil, and a bellcote sits on the gable above. The nave and transepts each have three-light windows, and the north transept includes a porch with a chamfered 4-centred arched doorway. The chancel has a five-light east window, which was extended to the south in 1869 with a narrow vestry addition under the main roof, and to the east in 1891. The vestry and the north wall of the chancel also have three-light windows. Many of the windows, particularly in the original parts of the church (nave, chancel, and first bays of transepts), feature cast-iron latticed glazing instead of leading.
Inside, the nave consists of three bays and has a braced king-post roof with rafters. The transepts have similar roofs and have been subdivided by timber screens to create separate rooms at the north and south ends. The chancel boasts an encaustic tiled floor, a plain panelled reredos from 1891, and pictorial stained glass by Ward and Hughes dating from 1879 and 1881.
