Holy Trinity Church, Cuckfield, Medieval church in Cuckfield, England
Holy Trinity Church is a parish church with English Gothic architecture located in central Cuckfield, featuring an extended nave and arcaded side chapels. The distinctive spire was reconstructed following a fire in 1981 and remains a key visual landmark in the village.
The church was founded in 1201 and took on its current form around 1250 when the Bishop of Chichester ordered a major reconstruction. This early restructuring established the Gothic framework that has endured to the present day.
The church serves as the gathering place for Cuckfield's community during worship and seasonal celebrations such as the Christmas Tree Festival held each December. Visitors can see how the space continues to bring people together for regular services and family-oriented events throughout the year.
The church is accessible through two architecturally significant entrance gates on the grounds. Visitors seeking information or assistance can find the office located in the nearby Old School building.
The churchyard holds a notable collection of protected gravestones dating from the 17th and 18th centuries that preserve the burial records of multiple generations. These old grave markers offer visitors insight into the village's past inhabitants and the families who shaped the community.
