Holy Trinity is the Church of England church serving the parish of Bembridge. It is situated adjacent to the local library (former school-house of the village) and heritage centre.
The Grade II listed church we see today was built of Purbeck stone with Portland dressings, possibly by T. Hellyer, in 1845 to 1846. An earlier church, built on this site in 1827 by John Nash, collapsed because it was built of the friable Bembridge Stone.
The pipe organ by Forster and Andrews, dates from 1887 and originally cost £380. The ornate reredos behind the high altar was presented by Mary Barlow in memory of the men of the village who died in the First World War.
