Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Grade II* listed building located in Wonston. It has origins dating back to the 12th century, with further developments in the 13th and 15th centuries, and restorations in 1830, 1872, and 1909. The church is constructed of flint rubble, mostly rendered, with stone dressings and a plain tile roof. The nave and chancel are from the Norman period, while the west tower was built in the 15th century and altered in 1830. The north aisle was added in 1872, and the south porch was constructed in 1909. There is a vestry attached to the tower.

The chancel features a lancet window on each side and a 19th-century Perpendicular style three-light east window. The south nave wall includes a late 20th-century replacement three-light Perpendicular window and a cinquefoiled light that was restored in 1909. The south doorway, dating around 1200, has an imprecisely moulded semicircular arch with two rounded orders, similar to the chancel arch, and is accompanied by a tiled gabled timber porch.

The tower consists of three stages, with battlements, diagonal buttresses with set-offs, and a stair tower at the southeast. It houses a six-bell peal dated 1802. The tower features Perpendicular style two-light bell-openings, a three-light west window on the middle stage, and a reused 15th-century cinquefoil head along with a west door that has hollow chamfers on the bottom stage. The chancel roof was completed in 1909, and the nave roof was restored in 1872.

The chancel arch, which has been partly restored, is pointed and consists of two rounded orders with triple responds and capitals inspired by decorated trumpet scallops, featuring tripartite fleur-de-lis leaves, though the bases are later additions. An aumbry is present, and the rear arch of the east window shows indications of a three-light lancet, while the side lancets have trefoiled heads on their rear arches. Stained glass windows were created by Powells and Morris & Co. in 1909. The north arcade, possibly from 1830, has slender continuously moulded piers and arches. Inside, there is a solid board benefactors notice from 1714 and the royal coat of arms of George IV. The furnishings date from 1872 and feature a Perpendicular style front.
