Holy Trinity Church, Coverham

Holy Trinity Church stands near Coverham Abbey, constructed with stone rubble walls and features a three-stage west tower with diagonal buttresses and stone slate roofs.

The church construction began in 1201, with later additions including a south aisle in the 14th century and the completion of the west tower in the 15th century.

The church building contains a four-bay arcade supported by octagonal columns, Victorian encaustic tiled flooring, and three bells from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Churches Conservation Trust maintains this Grade II* listed building since 1987, following its designation as redundant in September 1985.

The church's southeast corner presents a steep slope adjacent to a waterfall, which blocks both views and sounds from the graveyard area.
