Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a building constructed from coursed squared red sandstone rubble, topped with a Welsh slate roof. It is a single cell church featuring a west porch, which was likely added later, and a schoolroom lean-to that extends along the entire south wall. The gabled west end has two single light windows and a central gabled porch with a four-centred head, flanked by small pointed windows in the return walls, and original plank double doors. The main roof gable includes a square bell-cote with openings on each face and projecting eaves. The north wall is supported by buttresses with offsets and features two windows with Y-tracery. The east end mirrors the west end with two windows. The schoolroom has a large six-over-six pane double sash window at the east end, a small window, and a four-centred arch door at the west end, while the south wall is blind.

The church seems to have undergone a refurbishment, possibly in 1892, which included a large opening screen leading into the schoolroom and an intricately carved chancel screen created by the Vicar, Joshua Stansfield, who also decorated the church during that time. The windows contain coloured glass from the 1840s arranged in diamond quarries. The roof is particularly elaborate, featuring six bays with kingposts and various vertical struts along the ties, all boarded above.
