Holy Trinity Church Holme Holy Trinity Church Holme was originally built as a Chapel of Ease from St. James, Burton-in-Kendal in 1839, gaining independence in 1864. It has recently been refurbished to provide Church seating for 130, together with a new meeting room.
Set back across a stream parallel to the road, the church has a landscaped setting within the village. The same model as Casterton with original short chancel, limestone rubble walling and buttresses, and lancet windows linked by string course mouldings, here the tower has an embellished parapet and short pinnacles. The east lancet window sills were raised and the three stained glass panels re-fixed in the nave – but oddly, alternating in side and position, losing their relationship. However the east window by Alice Gordon (1930) is the reward. The west end of the nave has been screened off full height and sub-divided to create ground floor facilities and an upper room; never easy to do well, but here at least it is discrete and works to yield practical benefits. — Holy Trinity Church Holme Credit: Colin Kinnear
