Holy Trinity Church, Ashford-in-the-Water is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England[3] in Ashford-in-the-Water, Derbyshire.
The Church dates from the 12th century. While some 13th-century parts remain – notably the south door with its original Norman decorative stone arch tympanum featuring carvings of a wild boar and other creatures,[4] and also parts of the west tower[5] – the church underwent extensive remodelling, including restoring the tympanum to its rightful place, between 1868 and 1870 by J.M. and H. Taylor, and was reopened on 24 June 1870 by the Bishop of Lichfield.[6]
