Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Holy Trinity Church

Holy Trinity Church neighbours the older St. Lawrence Church (prev. upload). The present church was built around 1150 and originally consisted of a chancel and nave. The chancel was lengthened around the beginning of the 13th century, and a section of the south east wall rebuilt in 1707. The tower with spire was built around 1480, replacing an older one, and the south wall was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. A look inside after the wedding ceremony

The site has been inhabited since Roman times. The "Bosham Head", part of the largest Roman statue from Britain was found nearby. In 850, the original village church was built possibly on the site of a Roman building, and in the 10th century was replaced with Holy Trinity Church, situated beside Bosham Quay, that still serves the parish. There is a tradition that a daughter of Canute the Great drowned in a nearby brook and was buried here, although there seems to be little evidence for this. In 1865 a coffin containing a child's skeleton was discovered, buried in the nave in front of what is now the chancel of Holy Trinity Church.[9] This was thought to be Canute's daughter. Bosham is mentioned by name in the Bayeux Tapestry, referring to the 1064 meeting of Harold and Edward the Confessor on the way to meet William of Normandy to discuss who would succeed Edward to the throne. The Domesday Book of 1086 lists Bosham as one of the wealthiest manors in England. It included the nearby village of Chidham. Bosham was confirmed to be in the possession of Osbern, Bishop of Exeter, who had been granted the land by his kinsman, Edward the Confessor. Holy Trinity Church is thought the church may be on the site of a Roman basilica. The church is built of rubble with ashlar dressing, it has a tiled roof and a shingled spire. The lower part of the tower of the church, the chancel arch, and the tower arch, are Saxon. The chancel was extended to the east in the 12th century, and again in the 13th century when a sacristy was added on the north side; about this time aisles were added to the nave. The top storey of the tower is of the 15th century.

It is an octagonal block with two shallow arches carved on each side, supported by a thick central shaft and four slender shafts.

In the 12th century the local voivode endowed the Church of St. Cross here. At the end of the 12th century another church, the Rotunda of St. Prokop, was built. Premonstratensian nuns had a monastery here from 1148 to 1838. The Holy Trinity Church, consecrated in 1216, was also built during this period. Strzelno fell to Prussia in 1772. After the end of the First World War Strzelno was ceded to the Second Polish Republic. In 1939 the region was occupied by the German Wehrmacht; subsequently Strelno was reincorporated into the German Reich. In the spring of 1945 it rejoined Poland. - Today's parish church is the former monastery church of the Premonstratensian nuns. It was consecrated in 1216. It is a three-nave basilica with a transept, a large choir loft and an apse. On the eastern side, the church was originally equipped with two round towers. The central nave is covered by a star vault, while the side aisles are covered by ribbed vaults. In the 18th century the church was rebuilt. It was given a new facade and baroque furnishings. The original appearance was thus rendered unrecognizable. It was even forgotten. During the renovation of the church in 1946, six Romanesque columns were freed from a thick layer of plaster. Two of the column shafts are richly decorated with figural bas-reliefs. Their origin is dated to the second half of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century. Six out of seven columns have been stripped of the Baroque plaster so far. From the side you can see the Romanesque apse, the Gothic façade of the transept and the Baroque turret of the main façade.
