Church of Holy Trinity, Grade I listed medieval church in Goodramgate, York, England.
Description
Holy Trinity is a medieval church in York that features Gothic architecture with an uneven floor and large stained glass windows. The interior displays pointed arches and stone walls with wooden furnishings from different periods.
History
The church was founded in the 12th century and underwent changes over several centuries, particularly in the 15th and 19th centuries. These modifications reflect how the building adapted to the community's needs over time.
Culture
The church displays memorial boards shaped like grandfather clocks that list York's Lord Mayors and their influence on the city. These pieces give a sense of how important local leaders were to the town's development.
Practical
Access is through an 18th-century archway leading to the churchyard where visitors can walk around the exterior. It's worth checking opening times before visiting to make sure the church is open for tours.
