Churches (131) : Holy Trinity, Sutton Coldfield

The parish church of the Holy Trinity in Sutton Coldfield dates from the 13th century. However, the oldest parts of the current church date from the 15th century being the West tower and aisles. The church was expanded in the 15th century by the Bishop Vesey including adding two aisles to the nave. His tomb now resides in the church. The nave was rebuilt in 1760 to add a clerestory.

The church was restored in the 19th and 20th century, with some material re-used from Worcester Cathedral. The church of St James, Hill in Mere Green is a former daughter church of Holy Trinity.
