HISTORY
Holy Trinity church was designed by George Gilbert Scott, who also designed the Martyr's Memorial and the Exeter College Chapel. It was built in 1848-49, to serve the spiritual needs of those living and working in the then-active quarry. Its foundation stone was laid on June 19, 1848 by Samuel Wilberforce, the son of William Wilberforce and then Bishop of Oxford, who consecrated the building on completion.
C. S. Lewis, author of the Narnia books, began attending here in 1930 and continued to come to the church until his death in 1973. His grave is in the graveyard.
Above the altar is the Christ in Glory stained glass window, installed in 1951 as a memorial to those who died in World War II. It was designed by Sir J. Ninian Comper.
The church is known for its Narnia window, which features images from C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. It was installed in the north aisle in 1991 in memory of children George and Kathleen Howe, who died young.
