History

The church was built in 1839–40 and designed by the Lancaster architect Edmund Sharpe. The foundation stone was laid on 28 May 1839, and the church was completed the following year, although it was not consecrated until 1 July 1841, when the Bishop of Chester performed the ceremony. In 1879 the church was enlarged by Sharpe's successors, Paley and Austin, who added a larger chancel and transepts.[3] In 1889 Austin, Paley and Austin added a new nave roof, and altered the west elevation.[4]

Architecture

Holy Trinity has a three-bay nave, each of which contains triple a lancet window. At the west end are four lancets, one on each side and two over the entrance. The chancel, added by Paley and Austin, has two bays and a three-light east window containing Decorated tracery. At the west end of the church is a double bellcote. Inside the church is a west gallery, containing the organ.[3] The two-manual organ was made in 1879 by Gray and Davison and overhauled in 1980 by R. D. and E. H. Holmes.[5]
