North window of the Clopton Chapel, containing an assemblage of fragments of 14th & 15th century stained glass, the largest concentration of medieval glazing remaining in the church.

One of the most visited parish churches in the country, Holy Trinity at Stratford upon Avon needs little introduction, famous the World over as the last resting place of a certain celebrated local playwright! It is a worthy building regardless of the Shakespeare connection, and one of the grandest churches in Warwickshire. The central tower and spire are very much a local landmark.

Formerly a collegiate church, the tower and transepts are 13th century but the remainder of the building we see today mostly dates from the 15th century and is very much a display of Perpendicular Gothic, especially the impressive nave and glorious chancel (flooded with light from huge windows, despite their full complement of Victorian glass) with their original carved and paneled ceilings.

There are fine monuments in the Clopton Chapel at the end of the north aisle, and many more in the chancel (including Shakespeare's, hence the entry fee to this part of the church) whilst the choir stalls retain a superb set of medieval misericords with entertaining carvings. The glass in the church is mostly Victorian, though some medieval fragments remain in some places.

Holy Trinity is a very well known church that will reward a visit for more than its Shakespeare connection, and is normally open to visitors every day.
