St Helen's Church, Trowell is a Grade II* listed Anglican parish church in Trowell, Nottinghamshire, England.[1][2]
The first record of a church in Trowell is from 801, when a wooden church was built.[3]
The present Early English chancel was built in 1080,[4] and the Domesday Book says "Here is a priest and half a church and six acres of meadow."[4] Much of the current church dates from the 13th century, with the tower having been added in 1480.[2][4] A Victorian restoration was undertaken in 1890 by Charles Hodgson Fowler at a cost of £1,500.[4]
From 2016, a renewal project was supported by public donations to replace the heating system.[3] It was reopened in 2018, but further work was planned to improve the power supply and lighting.[5]
The Church of England parish of Trowell is part of a benefice with St Peter's Church, Awsworth and St Catherine's Church, Cossall within the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.[6]
