Background
History
The church dates from the 13th century, the nave and the south wall of the chancel probably being built at this time. It is thought that the south aisle was added during the following century, and the west tower was built in the 15th century. Restorations were carried out in 1854 and 1878. Holy Trinity was declared redundant on 1 September 1985, and was vested in the Trust on 10 June 1987.
Architecture
Inside the church is a four-bay arcade with pointed arches supported by octagonal columns without bases or capitals. There is an ogee-headed piscina in the south chancel wall, and a simple piscina in the wall of the south aisle. The church is floored with Victorian encaustic tiles. In the windows of the south aisle are small shields in painted glass dating possibly from the medieval period. The parish registers begin in 1707.
