Holy Trinity, Cambo.
Hilltop church for a model village.
The present Grade II church was built in 1842 to serve the newly created parish, and the fine tower added in 1884, a landmark for miles around. The exterior is built in good quality sandstone from the Wallington Estate and the interior has plaster and moulded features. There is a fine timber barrel-vaulted ceiling and a generous open feeling with good furniture. The organ is electronic with a console by the choir stalls but the speakers and bass column at the west end. Richly carved 13th century grave covers from the former Chapel of Ease near the site are incorporated in the tower lobby. The vestry is located off the tower lobby on the north side. Plans exist for the installation of a WC in the vestry, though this has not yet been fulfilled. The nearby Village Hall has toilets and these are available for use when funerals and weddings are planned in the church.
The churchyard is maintained by the PCC with the aid of a contractor and below the tower to the west the new Community Orchard provides a pleasant frontispiece to the church. To the north of the village the local authority cemetery is maintained by the Parish Council.
Our church is currently open 10am to 4pm every day.
