Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a parish church built in 1892. It is constructed of rubble stone and features red plain tile eaves roofs, along with a single west bellcote that has ashlar coping and a cross finial. The church includes a nave, chancel, transepts, a west porch, and a lean-to south vestry. Red terracotta gable cross finials are present on the church and the porch. The windows are in the Perpendicular style, with two plain flat-headed cusped two-light windows on each side of the nave, traceried three-light segmental-pointed windows with hoodmoulds in the transepts, and a four-light window at the east end. The west porch has a Tudor-arched entry and two small lancet windows. The west door is made of hollow-moulded red stone, featuring a Tudor arch, a hoodmould, and stops.
Inside, the nave roof is supported by scissor rafters and five arch-braced trusses on corbels, while the chancel roof is boarded with a brattished wall-plate. The windows have red sandstone reveals. The east end has an encaustic tile step and 1939 linenfold panelling, with the east window featuring glass from 1939 by Powell of Whitefriars. There is a plain octagonal stone font supported by four marble shafts.
Memorials within the church include a very fine white marble sarcophagus on lion feet dedicated to Lady Anne Seymour (died 1804) and signed by Nollekens, along with numerous 19th and 20th-century memorials to the Peel family and a plaque for Lord Robert Seymour (died 1831). A fine Baroque cartouche commemorates David Gwynne (died 1721). The north transept contains a plaque noting the enlargement and building of the vestry in 1829. A board from 1723, repainted in 1821, records that the church was built around 1660 by William Gwynne, with the cross aisle constructed by Roland Gwynne.
