Chancel; semi-octagonal apse. 3 stained glass windows by A O Hemming and Co. A description on display within says that the present edifice was built to resemble the description of the old Chapel of Wallington; the old Chapel had been demolished about 1791 and the foundations were re-discovered only in 1921, much after the rebuilding of Holy Trinity. Each window of Holy Trinity was designed to have tracery of a different pattern; west window of South aisle, for instance, was based on window in Church of Little St Mary's, Cambridge, which was erected about 1350.
