Holy Trinity Church...
Holy Trinity Church was built on a site
given by Sir Richard Bethel in 1843, some 1 1/4 miles away from the site of St Faith's Church.
Built of Yorkshire Gritstone with
Westmoreland roofing slate, the church was built between
1843 - 1845 when it was consecrated, though the
graveyard was not consecrated until later.

The church is a Grade II listed
building and is host to the 13th century limestone
baptismal font from St Faith's nave. The font was
originally painted black to give it the look of black
marble.
Holy Trinity is also host to the
'Wayside Cross Head', which is believed to be the
original head of the White Cross, the base and shaft of
which stands on the outskirts of the village. |

|
 |
In addition, the church also houses
fragments of a 9th century cross shaft, believed to have
been a preaching cross, a 13th century Piscine, and a
19th century Royal Armorial Board, all from St Faith's
church.
The church does have one
significant 'claim to fame' - it is the first in England
to have a stained glass window dedicated to football.
The church clock & bells were
apparently installed to mark the Coronation of King
Edward VII.
