Holy Trinity Church, Holdgate

[4] The west end of the nave was partitioned off as a schoolroom after 1793, and the church was restored and re-pewed in 1854–55.

In 1894–95 there was a further restoration by J. P. St Aubyn and Henry Wadling, during which a chancel arch was inserted, windows were renewed, the ceilings were taken down, new roofs and a new porch were built, and the partition in the nave was removed.

Its plan consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower.

The upper stage contains bell openings on each side, and two string courses, each of which incorporates gargoyles.

[3] In the south wall of the nave is a Norman round-arched doorway with capitals decorated with volutes and foliage.

[3] In the south wall of the chancel is a sheela na gig, dating probably from the 12th century.

[2] The circular Norman font is elaborately carved with rope moulding, a dragon, interlace, foliage, and medallions.
