Holy Trinity Church, Blacktoft
Holy Trinity Church is the parish church of Blacktoft, a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England.
A chapel in Blacktoft was recorded in 1202.[1] In 1742, there was a dispute over the roofing of the chancel, which led to a model of the church being presented in court.[2] It was long in the parish of All Saints' Church, Brantingham, but in 1784 it was given its own parish.[3] The church was rebuilt in 1841, to a design by John Harper.[4] The work cost £1640, part of which was funded by the sale of the old materials.[3] The building was grade II listed in 1966.[4]
The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave, a north vestry, a chancel with a polygonal apse, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, a west doorway with a four-centred arch, a coved string course, above which is a three-light window, paired two-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet. Inside, the chancel arch survives from the old church, there is a west gallery and box pews. Two of the windows have stained glass by Harry Harvey.[4][5]
