Holy Trinity Church, Tythby, is an old and important church located in the small village of Tithby, Nottinghamshire, England. It's part of the Church of England, which is the main Christian church in England. This special building is also listed as a Grade I listed building, meaning it's a very important historical site that needs to be protected.
A Look Back in Time
Holy Trinity Church has a long and interesting history. It was first built way back in the 13th century, which means it's over 700 years old! The church was built in a style called "Early English," which was popular for churches during the medieval period.
Changes Over the Years
Even though it's very old, the church was rebuilt in the 18th century. This means parts of it were updated or changed to make it stronger or look different. A bell tower, made of brick, was added later.
Inside the Church
When you step inside, you'll see many features from the Georgian period. These include a special pulpit where the priest speaks, with a desk for reading. There are also box pews, which are like small wooden boxes where families used to sit during services. One of these is a special squire's pew, which was for the most important person in the village. You can also see a west gallery, which is a raised area at the back of the church.
The church has bells and a font (a basin for baptisms) that both date back to 1662. There are two beautiful stained-glass windows that face east, letting in colorful light. On the west gallery, you'll find an organ from the 19th century, which is over 100 years old!
