Overview
Grid reference: NY 315 476
Holy Trinity is a largely unaltered example of the pattern of church building typical of the 1840's and retains original wood graining to the numbered box pews, pulpit and the inner entrance doors. The tower at the west end is capped by a short conical spire of severe simplicity. External wall surfaces are a mixture of grey/buff sandstone and red sandstone. The quoins and window surrounds are all of the buff sandstone suggesting that this was the preferred material. Predominance of red sandstone in the walling block at higher levels and in the tower suggests that difficulties of supply were encountered during the later stages of construction.
