Holy Trinity Church, Lambley, Grade I listed church in the United Kingdom
Holy Trinity Church is a stone building in Lambley composed entirely of traditional late medieval construction and situated in Nottinghamshire. The structure features a tower dating to the 13th and 14th centuries with a rounded arch entrance, tall windows that flood the interior with light, a wooden Jacobean rood screen from the early 1600s, and original doorways and piscinae throughout.
The church dates back to the 11th century but is first documented in a 1291 tax record. Following major work around 1470 funded by Ralph Cromwell, the building was rededicated by an Irish bishop in 1480.
The church served as a gathering place for weddings, baptisms, and celebrations that brought villagers together. Beyond worship, it functioned as the heart of community life and continues to hold that role in the village today.
The building is easily approachable from outside and tall windows provide good views into the interior space. The churchyard surrounds the structure and offers a quiet area to explore graves and memorials of local families.
Grooves on the church's outer walls date to the Middle Ages and were created by arrows being sharpened during archery practice. These marks reveal that the churchyard once served as a training ground for local archers.
