“[The] shallow spidery roof trusses [of the Nave] have raked struts with bracing between forming sloping pointed arches.”
[“Lancashire: Liverpool & The South-West”, Richard Pollard & Nikolaus Pevsner, Yale UP 2006]
Presumably, as with the pews etc, the original roof trusses were replaced some time after March 1846 as part of the attempt to prevent the spread of dry rot.

Holy Trinity Church, Eastbourne, is an Anglican Early English-style place of worship in Eastbourne in the English county of East Sussex.
It was designed by Decimus Burton and opened in 1839 as a Chapel of ease for St Mary the Virgin. Aisles and the east end of the chancel were added in 1855 and 1861 respectively. It became a parish church in 1847. The Reverend Thomas Henry Sparshott married his second wife in this church, in 1890.

The Clopton Chapel
The chapel was originally founded by the Guild of the Holy Cross and before the reformation in the 1530's was known as the Lady Chapel. The chapel housed a large statue of the Virgin Mary and the tomb you see on the right hand side.
All changed for the reformation! The Lady Chapel became the Clopton Chapel as it was taken over by the Clopton's for their family tombs.
The tomb on the left is from 1582 and belongs to William Clopton and his wife Anne. Above their tomb is a frieze recording the names of their children. Those shown as swaddled babies are the children that did not survive. Those holding shields are displaying the families they married into.
The tomb in front (erected in 1635) is of Joyce Clopton and her husband George Carew, Earl of Totnes and Baron Clopton. Lord Tones was Master of Ordnance to James 1% - hence the guns, powder barrels and cannon balls! His ceremonial helmet is hanging up on the wall above. Joyce Clopton was Lady in Waiting to Queen Elizabeth 1st and to the wife of James 1s.
The tomb on the right was part of the original Lady Chapel and destined for Sir Hugh Clopton. He was a successful Mercer, great benefactor to the town and became Lord Mayor of London in 1492. He died in London in 1496 and is buried in St. Margaret's Church, Lothbury. His tomb is called a cenotaph - an empty tomb.

“A BEAUTIFUL stained glass window, depicting the Good Shepherd, which will stand in Holy Trinity Church, Downall Green—the parish church of Ashton —as a lasting reminder of a well-beloved Rector, was dedicated on Sunday [21 May 1939]. The window was presented to the church by Mrs A Pelham Burton and Miss Hilda Williams, daughters of the Rev William Williams, the late Rector, and a few intimate friends of the family. Mr Williams, who died in November, 1937, was Rector of Ashton for 31 years, from 1902 to 1933. As a result of his work in Ashton many improvements were made in the church and parish, and it was due to his efforts that a new church was erected at Bryn. The window, situate in the porch on the south side of the church, is delicately subdued in tone, and blends with the mellow stonework of the building and with the other windows. The window was dedicated by Canon A White (Vicar of Billinge), who worked with Mr Williams some years ago. He paid high tribute to the work of the late Rector. There was a large congregation, and the service was conducted by the Rector (the Rev W R H Hall). The lessons were read by the Rev A Pelham Burton (Vicar of the Church of St. Peter, Newton)…
Canon White said it was a matter of very deep gratitude to him that he had been given the privilege and honour of taking part in the service. The Rector and people of the parish would wish him to express their grateful appreciation to the donors of the gift of the window. The church had already received a number of handsome gifts and and now another one had been added. It was a graceful act of filial duty to the memory of their father, a memorial of singular appropriateness, and added to the beauty of the church for it portrayed one of the most distinct features of the late Rector's life and work in the parish. “He always endeavoured to preach Christ as the Saviour and Guardian ,” said Canon White, “and he did his utmost to live to that preaching. He had one great ambition, to improve the church and make it more beautiful and more attractive. For some years his scheme had to wait, as other pressing needs of the parish had to receive attention, such as the erection of the schools and the need for the provision of a church at Bryn. When the time came I, whose privilege was to live in the closest contact with the Rector and Mrs. Williams, can remember his keenness in that very burdensome task of raising funds, and later his joy in the preparation of the furnishings and adornments. His one idea was to make this House of God attractive and worthy of the purpose for which it exists. An enormous amount of care was given to details, so that everything would harmonise and add to the beauty. The result of it was that very suitable improvement was effected to this church…
The window serves a three-fold purpose. It will beautify the church, it will hold up to us a strong reminder of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd, and it will remind us of Him as the Light of the World. To the present generation, who knew the late Rector, it will constantly remind them of what he did to beautify this house and of his ministry here in building up the beauty of the church. It will also be a permanent memorial of how he loved this parish and served it to the best of his ability.”
[From The Prescot Reporter, 26 May 1939]
