Holy Trinity, Thurgoland

Holy Trinity is a Grade II parish church on Halifax Road, Thurgoland, South Yorkshire, in the Diocese of Sheffield.

Overview

Historic England records a parish church of 1870, with additions of 1932, designed by G. E. Street and later altered by Sir Charles Nicholson. The plan is a nave with south aisle and north porch; the chancel has a south transept and a north organ chamber and vestry. The fabric is ashlar with ashlar dressings and slate roofs with ashlar-coped gables. The west front has a central stepped buttress between two-light lancets with geometrical tracery, and a gable bellcote. Inside, a three-bay south arcade has pointed chamfered arches on circular piers. The listing highlights a stone pulpit with black marble shafts and a bowl-and-stem font with lancets and roses, both typical of Street, together with contemporary wooden roofs, choir stalls and pews.

A Barnsley planning statement for later works records that this is the third place of worship in the village and that the church was consecrated on 8 August 1871. Much of the cost was met by Lt Colonel Edward Neville and Mrs Neville as a memorial to Vincent and Agnes Corbett. Parish notes state that it stands on the site of an 1842 building and retains a Wordsworth and Maskell pipe organ of 1881.
