Holy Trinity Church - a charming historic church in the heart of York The fifteenth century stained glass is also one of the church's wonders.

The historic Holy Trinity church in Goodramgate, York, stands secluded in its tranquil and leafy churchyard, hidden away from the busy city streets. Its fabric is mainly of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and its seventeenth century box pews, all slighly askew, are a unique and intriguing feature. Holy Trinity was closed for regular worship in 1972 and is cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust, supported by a dedicated group of friends, supporters and volunteers.

The Bedern Board is back! Until the end of November it will be on display lying in the St James’ Chapel.

The Bedern Board was created after WW1 to record the fates of the boys of Bedern National School. It lists everyone who served and has red underlining which shows whether they were killed, injured or captured.

The red ink had faded, but after fundraising and research, we were able to get it restored.

We will be hosting a blessing, drinks evening and talk on Remembrance Sunday (8 November) to welcome it back. If you would like to come, please email [email protected] for details.

Thank you to all those who braved the weather to join us for the Candlelight Mouse Hunt as part of yorkghostmerchants Ghost Week. We hope you enjoyed finding our mice!

The mice are around throughout the year. (although their hats and accessories change according to what we have going on). They move around the church too! They have had hard hats, flower crowns, rainbow coloured angel wings, white paper wigs, bunny ears, Viking helmets and festive red bobble hats. If you have any suggestions for what else they could wear, do let us know.
