Church Of Holy Trinity

The Church of Holy Trinity is a Grade I listed parish church dating from the late 15th century. It is a large Perpendicular-style church constructed of flint with stone dressings. The building features a nave with a clerestorey, north and south aisles with chapels, a south porch, and a west tower. The nave and chancel are tall and long, with fifteen clerestorey windows on each side. The aisle windows are also in the Perpendicular style. The church has embattled parapets on both the nave and the aisles.

The west tower is tall and includes diagonal buttresses, battlements, flushwork panelling at its base, pinnacles, and Decorated belfry openings. There is a stair turret on the south side and a Perpendicular window on the west side. The south porch is particularly fine, featuring a panelled flushwork front and battlements, carved friezes at the base and above the entrance, and two square-headed windows with a niche between them. Inside the porch is a tierceron-star-vault. The south doorway is moulded with flat arched panels.

Inside, the church has a tall seven-bay four-centred arch arcade and original roofs, including a hammerbeam nave roof with collar-beams. There is a notable 15th-century font of the Seven Sacrament type on risers, a large Jacobean pulpit, and early 16th-century parclose screens on both the north and south sides of the chancel. The church also contains early 16th-century benches and a 17th-century Communion rail that has been reused in the chancel stalls. An early 16th-century screen features an unusual painted dado.

The church is home to several significant monuments, including brasses for Denis Willys from 1462, John Blomevile and Dame Katherine Sampson from 1346, and Henry Holbart from 1561. There are also tomb chests for Henry Hobart from 1541, James Hobart and his wife from 1613 and 1609, and a monument to Lady Williamson from 1684, which features a very fine reclining figure on a marble sarcophagus.
