Parish Church Of Holy Trinity

The Parish Church of Holy Trinity is a significant building located in Bincombe, with parts dating back to the late 12th century. The chancel and nave were originally constructed in this period, with later rebuilding of the chancel's south wall in the 15th century and the east wall in the 19th century. The nave's north wall and the west tower were also rebuilt in the 15th century. A south porch was added in the 17th century, incorporating older materials. The church underwent extensive restoration in 1862.

The exterior features rubblestone walls with free stone dressings, topped with slate and stone slate roofs. The chancel has a late 19th-century east wall and window, while the north wall shows traces of a blocked 12th-century window. The south wall contains two partly restored 15th-century windows, each with two trefoiled lights in a square head, complete with moulded reveals and labels. The nave's north doorway, dating from the 17th century, is blocked and has chamfered jambs and a rounded head. The south wall features two much restored 15th-century windows with square heads and labels. There is also a square-headed opening in the east end of the south wall that once lit the former rood loft, which is now blocked.

The west tower, built in the 15th century, has two stages and a parapet. Its west window consists of two trefoiled lights with blind spandrels in a square head, and the bell chamber has a two-light window on each wall, similar to the west window. The 17th-century south porch has an outer archway with jambs and a pointed arch of two chamfered orders.

Inside, the chancel arch from the 12th century features half-round responds with moulded capitals and bases adorned with sput ornaments, leading to a pointed arch. The chancel roof is ceiled in plaster, while the nave has plain king post trusses from the 19th century. Notable fittings include a round bowl font made of Purbeck stone with a chamfered under edge and remnants of fastenings for a lid from the 13th century, though the stem is modern. Additionally, there is a stoup by the south doorway, which consists of a recess with a pointed head and a rounded bowl, the latter of which is partly broken away.
