Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Grade I listed building with a west tower dating from the late 15th century. The aisles were constructed around 1533, and the mid-16th century saw the addition of north and south chapels. The nave, which features a clerestory, was rebuilt around 1760. The chancel, originating from the 13th century, was restored and altered by C. E. Bateman in 1914, retaining a 15th-century arch and east window. The north aisle was doubled between 1874 and 1879, and the south porch dates to the early 16th century. A gallery in the south aisle was added around 1760.
Ornate screens and panelling from the early 17th century were removed from the choir and organ casing at Worcester Cathedral in 1864 and installed in this church in 1875. The church also features an interlaced aroaded circular Norman font, which was moved in the 19th century from the Church of St Lawrence in Over Winacre, Nottinghamshire. The wrought iron porch gates, dating from 1748, were relocated from around the Bishop Vesey monument, which dates to around 1555 and includes an effigy. Notable monuments include the Pudsey monuments from 1677 and 1719, and a finely carved wall monument to the Sacheverell family from 1715, along with the Jesson monument featuring busts from 1705.
The Holy Trinity Church and No. 16 Coleshill Street are recognized as a group.
