Holy Trinity Church, Startforth

Holy Trinity church sits on the southern edge of Startforth on the western side of the B6277 as it leaves the village. The church is a Victorian rebuild which was completed in 1863. The style used is Early English although Pevsner devotes only a few lines to it. There was clearly nothing significant architecturally in the building although its spire is a rather handsome addition to the skyline. The church sits behind a mid-height stone wall and access is through an attractive lychgate. There are a few trees in the graveyard which rather restrict viewing.
