Holy Trinity Church, Lambley is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England[1] in Lambley, Nottinghamshire.[2]
History
The church originally dates from the 11th century, though it is unrecorded in the Domesday survey of 1086. One of the earliest written references to the church is a papal Taxatio of 1291.[3] The tower (with round-headed arch into the nave) survives from the 13th and 14th centuries, and other pre-15th century fragments include various doors, piscinae and stained glass.[2] The heavily-restored screen also survives from 1377.[2] Ralph de Cromwell, 1st Baron Cromwell founded a chantry at the church in 1340, on the site of the modern vestry.[3] The church was largely rebuilt around 1470 as the result of a bequest by Ralph Cromwell, Lord Treasurer (Ralph de Cromwell's son).[3] His badge of a bulging purse is carved beside the east window, and the well-windowed nave and chancel are largely the result of this building campaign.[2] The church was dedicated by William, Bishop of Dromore in 1480.[3]
It has a single bell. Inside the church is a Jacobean rood screen. On the outer walls can be seen numerous grooves where arrows were sharpened during the middle ages, as archery was practiced in the churchyard.
