Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Grade I listed building located on a hill in an isolated position. It is primarily constructed of pebble rubble and dates mainly from the 15th century, although it incorporates some 12th to 13th century elements, such as an arch at the east end of the north arcade and in the tower arch. The north and south aisles, along with the clerestorey, were added in the 15th century, and the chancel was rebuilt during this time. The west tower, aisles, and nave feature embattled designs, with the tower showcasing a parapet made of flint and stone chequer work. Notable fittings include a fine 14th century brass on the tomb of John and Joan de la Pole, dating around 1375, which features two figures under a triple canopy. Additionally, there are 15th century brasses and a 14th century recumbent stone effigy of a woman in a recessed tomb, complete with depressed segmental arches and battlements. The church is recognized for its architectural and historical significance.
