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.
