You might say Holy Trinity is a Church built on cloth. The present Church was begun in the Norman period, but it was almost completely remodelled in the later Middle Ages when Bradford-on-Avon was a prosperous cloth town. It is packed with memorials to the townspeople of past centuries. Notice the Chantry Chapel of Thomas Horton, the wealthy clothier who built the Church Hall. He died in 1530.

The name of the town originates from the ‘broad ford’ across the River Avon and the bridge is a natural focus for the town. Although widened in the 17th century, it still retains two of the original 13th century arches. A riverside walk into the town centre reveals several buildings dating to the 17th century. The town grew due to the thriving English woollen textile industry.
