# Holy Trinity, Bickerstaffe

Holy Trinity is a Grade II parish church on Church Road, Bickerstaffe, Lancashire, in the Diocese of Liverpool.

## Overview

Historic England records a church of 1843 by Sydney Smirke, enlarged in 1860. It is sandstone ashlar with slate roofs and comprises a west tower with spire, nave, lower chancel, north aisle under a pitched roof, and north vestry. The tower has angle buttresses, paired lancet bell openings, and corner pinnacles with flying buttresses to the stone spire. The west doorway is moulded with angle shafts and a tympanum carved with three angels. The north aisle, added in 1860, has a three-light west window with Geometric tracery.

Inside, a four-bay north arcade has pointed arches on round piers. A west gallery with a timber front stands on timber posts. The king-post roof has curved braces to raised tie-beams. Around the apse is a blind arcade of pointed arches. The octagonal font is decorated with interlaced round arches, and the apse windows hold glass of the late 1860s showing scenes from the life of Christ.
