Holy Trinity Church was built in 1847 in imitation of the Early-English style. It is made of coursed and squared rubble with ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roof with ridge cresting.
Building is open for worship
Footprint of Church buildings: 526 m²
Built by E H Shellard in 1847. The Church tower was built in 1876. It’s west-facing side has an aperture designed for a clock. It has subsequently had two clocks. The most recent was hand-made by Vicar Shaw in ca. 1960. It stopped working in about 1980. The face was moved from the aperture in 2016 when the tower was renovated in 2016.
The church is comprised of a west tower and spire, nave with two aisles, chancel; two‐stage west tower with tall lower stage and clasping buttresses; west door with shafts and moulding; triple lancet window above - a quatrefoil; paired bell chamber lights in upper stage, corbel table and brooch spire with lucarnes. Long nave of six bays with lean‐to aisles divided by buttresses.
Continuous sill band, and heavy un-moulded blocks between the windows, possible unfinished corbel heads. Cornice and overhanging eaves.
Gabled north porch with shafts to doorway; trefoiled clerestory windows divided by pilasters; lower chancel with stepped lancets to east window with continuous hood-mould; gabled vestry to north of chancel.
