Background
History
Holy Trinity is a typical Victorian era church built in 1867 by William White on the site of an earlier church designed in the 1840s by David Mackintosh of Exeter but which necessarily had to be rebuilt as its foundations were unsound. The four-stage tower with set-back buttresses is built in the Somerset style and pre-dates the main body of the present church having been constructed between 1843 and 1845 as part of the earlier church; at 38 metres high the tower is the main reason for the Grade II* listing and is a landmark around Barnstaple and surrounding areas. The churchyard holds 5 burials from World War I and 4 from World War II which are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves…
