SUMMARY:Open Days at Holy Trinity Church Dobcross
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nPick up our booklet containing a brief history of the church and tour the building at your own pace. Admire the original three-sided gallery with its box-type pews\, small chancel and central West Tower. The tower is flanked by porches with swept coped parapets and ball finials. The top stage of the Tower is in the Italianate style with arcades and clock faces. The Historic Graveyard is open all day. \nThere is a slight downhill gradient on the stone path to the entrance of the church. Visitors should take care as some of the gravestones adjacent to the church entrance are smooth and can be hazardous in wet weather. Warning notices are posted. \nThere is street parking on Woods Lane and Nudger Green. \nOpen Monday to Sunday 10am-4pm throughout the Oldham Histories Festival.
