Place & story
Nave, tower and chancel
Gloine’s architectural survey dates Holy Trinity’s nave and tower to 1796 and describes their plain Norman style. The chancel, added around 1875, uses a later Gothic style. A memorial window commemorates members of the Lyle and Stevenson families. The survey records a three-lancet window with smaller tracery lights, alongside paired lancets elsewhere in the church. [2]
