Holy Trinity Church, Rolleston

Holy Trinity Church stands in the village of Rolleston in Nottinghamshire. It is an Anglican parish church with roots in the 12th century. The chancel was restored in 1878 and the tower in 1889 by Charles Hodgson Fowler. The church shares a parish with St Denis’ Church in Morton and St Peter and St Paul’s Church in Upton. Inside, visitors find several memorials dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The church holds notable memorials to Nicholas Lodge from 1612, Rev John Edwards from 1804, and Luke Williamson. Other memorials include Selina Hempsall from 1750 and two by John Twentyman from 1750 and 1774. The organ, originally built in 1895 by Cousins of Lincoln, was installed in Rolleston in 2008 after being moved from HM Prison Nottingham. A visitor to Holy Trinity Church finds a quiet village setting with a building shaped by centuries of care. The restored chancel and tower reflect 19th-century craftsmanship. The memorials tell stories of local people from past generations. The organ, now in its third home, adds a musical presence to the church. The Grade I listed building stands as a quiet witness to history in the East Midlands.
