War memorial outside Holy Trinity church
A war memorial stands outside the church, recalling the lost men of the area during two world wars. Note the cast tablet for WWI is much larger than the additional WWII list affixed on the lower stonework.
The monument appears to have been in place by the early 1920s, but has been improved by bronze tablets in a dedication ceremony in 1948, presumably to add the second plaque.

No more room

Communications on Church Lane
A classic K6 telephone box appears to have an actual phone in it. Close by is the notice board. Behind is the mediaeval Tithe Barn, the former school and now a community hub.

Channeling all around the church
Holy Trinity church was founded in the fifteenth century in a rural part of Somerset, far from what would later grow to be Nailsea. The church is set into the ground with the level below the surrounding earth. Note the small gap in the base of the buttress, and the copper stains from the window mesh.

Trinity's tower
Holy Trinity dates from the fifteenth century, with a fine four stage tower in Perpendicular style - typical of the area. Interestingly, the pinnacles were not added until 1904 and the belfrey contains a bell that was originally in Bristol Gaol.
