Holy Trinity Church, Lambley

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.^{[citation needed]}
