Holy Trinity Church, Sutton Coldfield, Medieval parish church in Sutton Coldfield, England
Holy Trinity Church is a medieval parish building in Sutton Coldfield featuring a late 15th-century west tower and side aisles throughout its length. Its interior displays ornate carved screens that were brought from Worcester Cathedral and installed in 1875.
A religious structure first stood on this site in the 13th century, but was significantly expanded in the 1530s when Bishop John Vesey added new side aisles to the building. These additions formed the basis of the church as it appears today.
The church has served as the spiritual heart of Sutton Coldfield for centuries, hosting regular worship and community events that remain central to local life. Its presence shapes how residents gather and connect throughout the year.
Access to the church is through Boswell Road with parking available at the nearby Bishop Vesey School during weekends until 7:45 PM. Visitors should check ahead as opening times and parking availability may vary seasonally.
The bell tower holds eight bells, with two cast in 1795 and four additional ones added by John Taylor and Co of Loughborough in 1884. These bells remain in use today and create a distinctive sound that marks important moments in the community.
