Holy Trinity is the ancient parish church of Ilfracombe which was considerably enlarged in the early C14. It is notable for the decorated ceiling in the central aisle complete with carved corbels surmounted by medieval angels and fine ceiling bosses. The stained glass includes a number of windows by Kempe.
Holy Trinity has a fine musical tradition and the choir adds much to our worship throughout the year.
Children are always welcome and there is a carpeted play area with a wide range of toys and books.
