Church of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a church dating from the early gothic period, with a cruciform plan consisting of a nave, transept chapels, and a chancel. Constructed of rock-faced snecked stone, the roof is covered with concrete tiles and retains ridge cresting. A tall, blank bell-cote is situated on the east end of the nave. The nave has four bays articulated by buttresses, each featuring a two-light plate-traceried window with a plain hoodmould supported by plain capitals. The west end has a similar window and a simple rose window at its apex. A flat-roofed porch, likely a later addition, obscures the steep hood mould of the inner doorway. A small bell-frame with a bell is supported within the porch, and paired doorways are present in the north wall. Side chapels have three-light plate-traceried windows, while the chancel has a four-light window. A lean-to vestry extension adjoins the north wall of the chancel, with a polygonal east bay, and a broad gabled extension is located to the south of the chancel.

The nave roof is king-post style, with turned tie-beams and king-posts, braced collar supporting a king strut. A west gallery, partitioned below, has slender turned rails. The chancel roof is divided into four narrow bays, with arch-braced collars sprung from wall-posts on corbels. The original arches to the transept chapels have been filled in. Original features include the chancel screen, the south transept screen, all internal joinery such as benches, dado panelling, and choir stalls, and the reredos. The exceptionally fine chancel screen displays delicate tracery work within panels, with an oversailing canopy on slender ribbed vaulting, incorporating foliate scroll and fretwork. The south transept screen is similar but without the canopy. Throughout the nave and chancel, there is dado panelling with simple reed-moulded decoration and stylised quatrefoils in the rail. The choir stalls echo this detail, with traceried heads and fretted cresting on the rear panels, traceried bench-ends, and a band of quatrefoil piercing to the front benches. The altar rails also incorporate the stylised quatrefoil motif.

The reredos, made of sandstone in a late gothic style, is a traceried framework with niches containing saints. The main panels depict the Nativity with the adoration of the Magi and Shepherds. The east window features figures of Hannah, Ruth, Mary, and Priscilla. The south transept serves as a war memorial chapel, with fine gilded lettering on dado panel work and a stained glass window depicting Saint Michael, by Geoffrey Webb. The north transept, currently partitioned off from the church, contains an exceptionally fine stained glass window dated 1906, executed in a rich renaissance idiom by Herbert Bryans.
