Holy Trinity Church - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"Holy Trinity Church lies adjacent to the Church of Saint Thomas, facing down Church Street. It was built in 1835 as a chapel of ease to Saint Mary’s Church, Rhuddlan, to designs of Thomas Jones, architect. It became a parish church when Rhyl was designated as a separate parish in 1844. As Rhyl rapidly developed as a resort, it was necessary first to extend the existing church - the transepts were extended to their present notably long form in 1850 and 1852 - and then to supplement it by the construction of a new church devoted to English services - the adjacent church of Saint Thomas was built 1860-9. The Church of the Holy Trinity remained the parish church, and is still used principally for Welsh services.
A well-detailed example of neo-Perpendicular church design, it is built of roughly squared random rubble with slate roofs. The plan comprises an aisle-less nave dominated by long transepts and with a short chancel. The chancel was extended to the south in 1869 by a narrow vestry addition under a continuation of the main roof, and to the east in 1891. The nave is in three bays, with braced king-post roof with rafters. There are similar roofs over the transepts which have both been subdivided by timber screens to form separate rooms at north and south ends.
Interior features include encaustic tiled floor to chancel, and a plain panelled reredos of 1891.
