Church of Holy Trinity

About

Holy Trinity Church in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, England. Located on Wilmore Street and dating to the early 12th century, it is now a Grade I listed building. The oldest part is the nave, the south aisle and chapel and the tower were added in the late 12th century, and the chancel was later extended, doubling its length.

The church is built in stone, and consists of a nave, a south aisle and chapel, a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower. The nave is Norman in style, and the chancel is early Perpendicular. The tower has four stages, clasping buttresses, round-arched bell openings, and an embattled parapet.

Architect Samuel Pountney Smith added windows to the south aisle and the south chapel in 1843 and 1866. The church has a variety of war memorials. In the chancel are plaques to Lieutenant Robert Gwinn Granger, died of wounds in the Action of 7 February 1813 on HMS Amelia, another to John Arthur Greer, attached to the Ashanti Field Force, killed in attack on rebel camp at Kumasi during The War of the Golden Stool in 1900, and Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Thomas Milnes-Gaskell of the Coldstream Guards who was killed in an aircraft crash in Egypt during the Second World War in 1943...
