The day was cold, dull, damp, and so, so windy! But still, let me show you...
This is the Holy Trinity Church is in the village of Hoghton, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Leyland, the archdeaconry of Blackburn, and the diocese of Blackburn. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
The church is constructed in ashlar stone. The architectural style is mainly Early English. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave, a six-bay south aisle, a two-bay chancel, and west tower. The tower is in three stages, with angle buttresses and a southeast stair turret. It has an arched north doorway, and a three-light west window with Perpendicular tracery. On the north and south sides, at a higher level, is a two-light window with a circular clock face above it. The bell openings have two lights, and are louvred. At the summit of the tower is an embattled parapet. Along the sides of the nave and the south aisle are lancet windows. The aisle also has a priest's door, coupled lancets in the east gable, and triple lancets in the west gable. The chancel has two-light windows on the sides, and a large five-light east window. All the gables contain a quatrefoil window towards the apex, and are surmounted by a stone cross.
The churchyard contains war graves of two British and one Australian soldier of World War I, and a British airman of World War II.
