Holy Trinity Church, Little Ouseburn

The older parts of the church are constructed in stone rubble, and the newer parts in dressed sandstone. The porch is timber-framed on stone, and the roofs are in stone flags. The plan of the church consists of a two-bay nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, a north organ chamber, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The tower is in three stages with an embattled parapet with pinnacles, a saddleback roof, and a weathervane in the form of a cockerel. On the south and west sides of the tower are round-headed windows. The louvred bell openings are in pairs and are round-headed. On the side of the south aisle is a gabled porch, with two two-light square-headed windows to the east of it. The east window of the aisle has three lights, under a lintel consisting of a re-used grave slab carved with a wheelcross. On the south side of the chancel is a round-arched priest's door between pairs of lancet windows. On the side of the north aisle are two three-light square-headed windows and the organ chamber. The vestry has a north three-light window and two lancets on the east side. The east window in the chancel has five lights under a pointed arch. At the west end of the south aisle are fragments of an early sculpture. On the gable at the east end of the nave is a finial consisting of a wheelcross.[2]

The tower arch has a round head; the chancel arch is pointed. The arcades have pointed arches carried on octagonal piers. In the south wall of the chancel is a recess for an aumbry, and a damaged piscina. There is another aumbry recess in the wall of the south aisle. One of the pews in the church is carved with a poppyhead and a parrot. Other pews are carved with poppyheads, these dating probably from the 19th century.[2] The two-manual organ was built in 1872 by Brindley and Foster.[4]
