Church of the Holy Trinity, Medieval parish church in Weston, England
Church of the Holy Trinity is a medieval parish church in Weston built from flint and ironstone with a chancel reconstructed in 1840 and a 15th-century nave roof. Five bells from different periods hang in the belfry, and an octagonal font with decorated panels sits in the nave.
The Knights Templar received control of the church's patronage around 1148 and held it until the order's suppression in 1309. The Knights Hospitallers then took over its governance.
The church displays medieval craftsmanship through its roof supported by grotesque stone corbels that catch the eye of visitors. An oak pulpit moved here from a Cambridge church shows how religious furnishings traveled between different places over time.
The church sits centrally in Weston village and is visible from the main roads through the area. Visitors should check local signage or ask in the village for current opening times and access details.
The churchyard holds an unusually long grave connected to a local figure called Jack o'Legs, a folk character said to have lived in a cave and taken food from Baldock. This grave stands out among the ordinary burials around it.
