The church of Holy Trinity is a large and impressive structure, standing in an elevated position east of the main street. This gives the tower and western Galilee porch enhanced dignity. These are the earliest surviving parts of the church, being added to the earlier aisleless nave in the early 13th century using the Early English style. A new chancel was also built at this period. The major change occurred in the early 14th century in the early Decorated style. This was a nave of five bays, side aisles and two porches. The height of the nave creates an impression of light and grandeur, and this impression is also conveyed by the high quality of the architectural detail using Northamptonshire limestone. The donor may have been Elyas de Bekingham, a royal judge in Edward I’s reign from 1285 to his death in or soon after 1306. His brass lay on the floor prominently in the centre of the nave and, although the figure is now lost, the inscription is fully legible. There are later windows in the chancel and in the chapels at the end of each aisle, probably to give more light after the rood screen and loft had been added. The upper stage of the tower was added in the 15th century, and the roofs over the nave and aisles are also of this date. The church was carefully restored in 1875 by Sir Arthur Blomfield (who also restored Swaffham Prior).
An attractive feature of the interior is the 15th-century chancel screen with three open arches of stone; it would have carried a timber rood loft and statues of the Crucifixion. On either side were chapels in the east ends of the aisles and their screens of the late 14 th century still stand though now enclosing a rather smaller space. At the west end are two neo-Georgian screens of 1952 by Sir Albert Richardson defining a baptistery and a chapel. Above them is the gallery of 1839, and all the nave seating is of this date. Most prominent in the aisles are the varied collection of tombs, which are of interest for the development of dress. In the north aisle are tombs of the Allington family; in the south are tombs of the Jenyns family. Both families lived successively at Bottisham Hall. There are also benefaction boards displayed, recording the almhouse endowed by Giles Bream (d. 1621) and the free school endowed by Sir Roger Jenyns in 1730. A painted stone panel brought from the former school shows a schoolboy in his gown carrying his cap and a book. At the east of the chancel is a reredos and stained glass window commemorating Colonel Jenyns (d. 1873); he was one of the “Six Hundred” who rode into the Valley of Death at Balaclava in the Crimean War (October 25th, 1854). The tower contains five bells of late 16th and early 17th-century date. The tower formerly had a chamber where a priest could live and guard the church.
