Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a significant church located in Eccleshall, Staffordshire. It is constructed of stone with a tiled roof and features a nave, aisles, chancel, a north chapel, and a west tower. The chancel, arcades, and tower primarily date from the 13th century, while the aisles were rebuilt in the 15th century. The south porch, which has a quadripartite vault, was restored in the 15th century. The east end of the chancel was designed by G.E. Street, who restored the church between 1866 and 1869. There is a priest's door in the west wall of the chancel. The church houses the tombs of four Bishops of Lichfield, including a notable memorial to Bishop Overton from 1609, featuring a recumbent effigy and kneeling figures of his two wives. The reredos was created by Champneys in 1898, and there is an altarpiece and screen in the north chapel, along with an organ case in late Gothic style designed by Caröe in 1931. The church is listed as Grade I due to its architectural significance.
