Welcome to Holy Trinity Church, one of England's
most beautiful parish churches. The people of Stratford have
worshipped God in this building for more than 750 years and on this
site for over 1,000 years. Here, every day of the year, local
Christians offer their praise to God, through his son Jesus Christ,
and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Holy Trinity is the church where William
Shakespeare was baptized, where he worshipped and where he is
buried. Thousands of visitors come each year to view his final
resting place.
When you visit, try to allow time to do more than
just gaze at a grave! You will surely find yourself moved to wonder
at the faith which led our ancestors to build this place with such
skill and beauty. Feel the atmosphere of prayer and praise, an echo
of the millions of prayers offered here over the centuries. Sit
awhile in a place which is designed to make us especially aware of
the love and the peace of God, and of his concern for the world.
We pray for our visitors each day of the year. We
ask for your prayers, for the people and clergy of Holy Trinity.

May the peace of God be always with you
Revd Martin Gorick
Vicar
