About Holy Trinity Church
Holy Trinity Church is the parish church of Stratford-upon-Avon and one of the most famous churches in England as the place of William Shakespeare's baptism, marriage and burial. The bard's funerary monument and grave, beside those of his wife Anne Hathaway and other family members, lie in the chancel. The building itself dates largely from the 13th to 16th centuries, with a riverside churchyard, fine misericords, and a distinctive 17th-century tower spire. It remains an active Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Coventry and welcomes around 250,000 visitors a year.

Sunday services often range from a said early-morning Holy Communion to a main mid-morning Sung Eucharist or Morning Prayer, and many parishes hold Choral Evensong later in the day.
