Holy Trinity Church is yet another
example of a 12th century building, with a number of
distinctive Norman elements still to be seen, including
the large font, south doorway, and chancel arch. The now non-existent rood screen was entered via an elevated doorway in the chancel, an unusual feature of churches of this age. There is also a 'leper window' in the south side of the chancel. The church was restored a hundred years ago, the work including a new roof, pulpit, altar and rails. The whole building retains traces of the whitewash that once covered Vale churches in former centuries and is a Grade 1 listed building |
