Holy Trinity Parish Church

Holy Trinity Parish Church is a building of 1871, constructed of bull-faced rubble with freestone dressings. It features angle buttresses with pinnacles, slate roofs, gable parapets (without finials), and a slightly advanced chancel of 1871 with three-light Geometric windows flanked by single lancets. Linked hoodmoulds and a cill band run along the exterior. Set back gables with three-light Decorated windows are present to the left and right sides, alongside later transverse gables with lancet windows. The north and south faces have three-light Decorated windows, positioned above grouped lancets on the south side. A projecting, single-story crenellated vestry and bell frame are attached to the organ chamber on the south side.

The church’s nave is aisled, with a dog-leg roof profile and no clerestory. A transverse gabled bay to the east incorporates a two-light bar tracery window flanked by buttresses with set offs, alongside a later two-light window to the left. A south porch is situated within the buttressed tower base, which incorporates a moulded pointed arch with headstops to the hoodmould. A low porch sits to the west front, beneath a three-light Geometric window, flanked by two oculi. Further three-light Decorated windows are present on the north nave, extending beyond a gabled north porch with concave moulded jambs. A north transept entrance is distinguished by a three-light Decorated ogee hoodmould and traceried spandrels. The east gable end of the northern nave features additional three-light Decorated windows.

Inside, the church has an ashlar interior with some zig-zag tooling. The three-and-a-half bay chancel has an ornamental double hammerbeam roof with traceried panels, supported on cylindrical shafts with moulded capitals, terminating in heavy corbel bases on the south wall and granite piers to the north, with detached shafts linked by granite annulettes. A Perpendicular style arch leads to the organ chamber, featuring traceried spandrels. The northern chancel includes a boarded and arched braced roof, and a pointed arched doorway to the sacristy with a hoodmould. The original tall chancel arch features attached shafts and waterholding bases. The original aisled nave showcases banded masonry and has an open trussed roof with crenellated wallplates. Early Gothic arcades are characterized by rich foliage capitals on the cylindrical piers. The Early 14th century north arcade incorporates round columns, and twin open collar beam roofs support ornamental hammerbeam supports. A Perpendicular style openwork screen divides the north chancel. Other features include a polygonal stone pulpit and a polygonal font at the east end of the south aisle, adorned with Early Gothic foliage detail.
