Holy Trinity Church, Holdgate

A church is recorded here in the Domesday Book, however none of the fabric from that church has survived. The earliest surviving fabric of the current church dates from the 12th century.

The nave of the church dates from the early 12th century. The chancel and lower part of the tower were added in the 13th century. The upper part of the tower was added some time between the 15th and 17th centuries. The south porch was possibly added in the 14th century.

The church boasts a particularly fine carved 12th-century Norman round-arched south doorway with capitals decorated with volutes and foliage. It also boasts an elaborately carved 12th-century font.

Also possibly dating from the 12th century is a sheela-na-gig on the exterior of the south chancel wall.
