Yeoford Trinity Church is just across the road from Yeoford School. Yeoford Church is called Holy Trinity, which means that it is dedicated to the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. It was built in 1891, and the site was given by Sir John Shelley of Shobrooke park. The foundation stone was laid on November 26th 1891 by Lady Audrey Buller of Downs House Crediton. It was closed down in about 1971, because of the lack of attendance. It was reopened in 1984 because someone thought it would be nice to have church services again. The first service after the Church was reopened was a Christmas Service, and as there was no electricity, they had a candlelight service. The service was held on 16th December 1984.
