The Anglican Church of the Holy Trinity in Newton St Loe within the English county of BANES is a Grade II* listed building.
You will need to go inside the church to collect information. It is usually open during daylight hours but may be closed for services, weddings, funerals etc.
We hope you enjoy your visit to this beautiful church with so much to offer, from the stained glass windows, to the various memorials, the old lamps on the walls and the overall great atmosphere.
The stone building has north and south aisles, nave, chancel, west tower and organ chamber covered with a slate roof.
It has a three-stage west tower, supported by diagonal buttresses. The tower is 61 feet (19 m) tall. On the tower is a clock face with a single hand. It contains six bells these were recast from the original five by Thomas Bilbie of the Bilbie family of Chew Stoke in 1741. The tower is separated from the nave by a wooden screen erected in 1909.
Most of the interior fittings, including the font, pews, pulpit and screen are from the 1857 restoration; however some of the monuments are considerably older. These include the marble tomb of Joseph Langton who died in 1701. A cast iron railing surrounds the vault which also has an inscription on marble commemorating his seven children who all died prematurely.
The organ was installed in 1879.
