Church of the Holy Trinity, Minsterley - Shropshire (UA)
Built as a chapel of Westbury between 1688-9, the church consists of a nave and chancel in one with a west end bell-cote and a south porch. The use of classical and baroque elements, the extensive use of brickwork, raking buttresses without offsets and a steeply pitched tiled roof, creates an unusual composition. A reduced scheme of repairs funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund Grant for Places of Worship was completed in 2020 but concealed defects necessitated the omission of assorted urgent high-level masonry repairs and the installation of a new surface water drainage system.
