Description
The Church of the Holy Trinity is an Anglican parish church located in Binegar Village. It has Norman origins and was rebuilt in the 15th century, with further reconstruction, excluding the tower, taking place in 1858 under Rev William Heade. The church is constructed from coursed and squared rubble with freestone dressings and features asbestos slate roofs, coped verges with finials, a wave-shaped chancel, a north transept, a north organ chamber, a north vestry, a south porch, and a west tower. The tower is in the Perpendicular style, while the rest of the church is designed in the Middle Pointed style.
The tower has three stages with diagonal buttresses that rise to crenellated pinnacles and an embattled parapet adorned with an arcade of blind foiled niches. The west side features a carved Trinity, a polygonal stair turret on the north with crenellated capping, and 2-light bell-chamber windows with louvres. The west window has renewed tracery, and there is a label above the west door. The nave has three bays with single and 2-light windows, and there is a gabled porch. The chancel has two bays with one, 2, and 3-light windows, the eastern window showcasing geometrical tracery.
Inside, the church has plastered walls and flagstone floors, with encaustic tile pavement in the chancel. The tower arch is triple-chamfered, while the chancel arch is moulded on carved springers. Notable interior features include a 15th-century octagonal font, a small Jacobean altar table, and a medieval stoup built into the vestry wall. Most of the fittings date from the late 19th century, including choir stalls, altar rails, a lectern, an organ, a pulpit, and oil lamps. The pews were installed in 1903. The east window features stained glass from 1913, while the other windows have plain leaded lights. There is a cartouche from 1736 and five main wall monuments from the 19th century. The church also houses three early bells.
