Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon

Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be always with you

 
Welcome to the website of Holy Trinity Parish Church! Holy Trinity, Stratford, on the banks of the River Avon, is probably England's most-visited Parish Church. As well as being a thriving Parish church, it receives many thousands of visitors each year on account of the fact that William Shakespeare was baptized here, served as a lay rector of the church, and is buried in the chancel.
