Site Record

Holy Trinity Church is located in a large rectangular churchyard sloping up to the south, surrounded by a coursed stone wall with saddleback coping, reached by a narrow lane off the south side of A548.
The church was built in a simple early Gothic-Revival style to designs by Ambrose Poynter in 1844-5, at the expense of the Mostyn and Pennant families.
It is constructed of dressed, coursed pale freestone under slate roofs, with dressings of the same stone. The plan comprises nave, chancel, north-west steeple including porch, and south vestry. The three-stage tower incorporates an entrance to the north side, with broach spire. To the north side, in angle of spire and nave, is a cross-angle two-storey stair turret with flat-roof.
Interior features include an octagonal stone font at the west end with decorative roundels to each face, on clustered shafts on an octagonal plinth; a raised altar table in front of the chancel arch; and a polygonal wood panelled pulpit on a wooden stem (which is also a war memorial).
The church suffered some damage during the Second World War including disturbance to masonry at the upper levels and loss of a finial. Many of the church furnishings are of the twentieth century, some donated as memorials. The west end was re-ordered in the 1980s.
