Now a home.

This former Congregational church was built in 1892 when the earlier premises became too small. This became the United Reformed Church and then, in combination with two other local chapels it became Trinity Church. Services were transferred to the Market Lavington Community Hall where they continue to be held and the church was sold and is now a private residence named Trinity House. Market Lavington lies at the foot of the north western scarp slope of Salisbury Plain, about 5 miles south of Devizes. There is evidence of continuous occupation of the village since the Iron Age and maybe, near continuous occupation since late Neolithic times. The village developed around the cross roads of an east-west road (now the B3098) and a north-south road which ran from Devizes to Salisbury – later closed. Once considered a town, a market charter was granted in 1254.

Seen from the bridleway, Stobberts Road leads down to High Street.
