Completed | 14th century |
The Church of the Holy Trinity in Street, Somerset, England, dates from the 14th century but underwent extensive restoration in the 19th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The church was originally dedicated to Gildas.[2] The first recorded Rector was John de Hancle in 1304.[3] The patronage of the church was held by Glastonbury Abbey until the dissolution of the monasteries when it passed to the Marquess of Bath.[2]
The chancel pre dates the rest of the building, having been built about 1270. It still has the original window tracery. There is also a sculptured Sedilia. The nave and tower date from the 15th century. The tower contains eight bells, four of which date from 1777[3] In the early 19th century the north aisle was added, and the interior refurbished by Benjamin Ferrey in 1843,[2] by which time an organ had been installed.[3]
Between 2000 and 2004 the pews were removed and new lighting and under floor heating were installed.[2][4][5]
The parish is part of the Street and Walton benefice within the Glastonbury deanery.[6]
