Holy Trinity Church, Eccleshall

Holy Trinity Church is a medieval place of worship in Eccleshall built in English Gothic style, featuring a central nave with aisles on both sides, a deep chancel, and a west tower covered in clay tiles. Inside, tall pointed arches and stone columns create the characteristic soaring effect of Gothic design, with the nave leading toward the altar in the east.

The building was established around the middle of the 13th century and underwent major reconstruction in the 15th century when the side aisles were rebuilt and the south porch was restored. These works gave the church most of the form it retains today.

The church has served as the spiritual center of the community for hundreds of years and remains deeply embedded in local life. Visitors can observe how worship and local celebrations still take place within its walls, connecting generations of residents to the same space.

The church sits on Church Street and remains in active use by the Diocese of Lichfield for regular worship services. Visitors should plan around these schedules and note that access may be limited during services or special events.

The interior houses a Gothic-style organ case designed by Caröe in 1931 and an altar screen created by Champneys in 1898. These two artworks from different periods show how the interior received additions reflecting the artistic ideas of their time.
