History of the Church
This church has a long and interesting history, going back to the 13th century. That's over 700 years ago!
Restoration Work
The church has been carefully looked after over the centuries. In 1871, a famous architect named George Edmund Street helped restore it. He rebuilt the chancel (the part of the church near the altar) and repaired the nave (the main part where people sit) in 1870.
More recently, in 2004, the church tower was also repaired and restored to keep it strong and safe.
Church Leaders (Incumbents)
For a long time, Thrumpton was connected to another church, Holy Trinity Church, Ratcliffe-on-Soar. This meant it probably had a curate, who is like a helper priest.
Over time, the way the church was led changed. From 1950 onwards, Thrumpton Church started sharing its priest with other nearby churches, like St. George's Church, Barton in Fabis and St Lawrence's Church, Gotham. This helps the churches work together and share resources. The current minister is Richard Coleman.
