Holy Trinity

The Church holds only 50 people. It has little architectural interest with its setting being its main beauty, but it has a captivating atmosphere. At the end of the lane serving Godington's few farms and houses it is usually surrounded by bird song. There was a church on this site in Saxon times. No mediaeval work remains, except a little masonry in the tower - a stone built into the north wall. The font is also of mediaeval date. The Church was built in 1792 by the Roman Catholic Lord of the Manor, William Fermor in a village which right up to 1840 contained a majority of Roman Catholic inhabitants. It had square Georgian windows.These were removed and lancets substituted in 1852 when the altar, pulpit and seats were made. The porch was added in 1905. The tower, which has a quaint overhanging cap, leans considerably. There are a number of old floor tombstones of interest and the churchyard contains many gravestones. Two bells in the tower date from 1717 and 1793. The registers date from 1872.

Postcards and a leaflet available.
