Holy Trinity Church, Norton Lindsey
Highlight • Historical Site
The chancel arch is of two chamfered orders, the pointed head being of fairly small voussoirs: at the springing-level are 4 in. moulded abaci or imposts. The archway is probably of the early 14th century.
The nave (about 28½ ft. by 18 ft.) has a modern north arcade of three bays with round pillars and square responds. In the south wall are two modern windows of three cinquefoiled pointed lights in a two-centred head. The south doorway between them, is of early13th-century date; it is two-centred and of two orders, the inner chamfered, the outer with a roll mould which, in the jambs, is provided with moulded capitals and bases: the jambs are partly restored and the outer order of the head has been rebuilt.
The west wall has no piercing: it is gabled, with a repaired coping: above it is a stone bell-cote, modern except at its base, which indicates that there was an earlier bell-cote here.
The nave walls are of ashlar like the chancel: the south wall has an original square buttress at the west end; another buttress at the east end is a later medieval addition. The west wall has a wide and shallow buttress (4 ft. 9 in. by 1 ft. 2 in.) in the middle, rising to nearly the top of the gable-head. There is another buttress, also old, in line with the north arcade-wall. The roofs, which are tiled, have modern timbers. Rain-water pipe-heads are dated 1873.
The font is probably of the 13th century: it has a round bowl tapering downwards, on a high round, chamfered base, and a worn round step.
The pulpit is modern, but has in it two panels of a 17th-century frieze carved with honeysuckle ornament; there are also two panels on the wall behind it.
The communion plate includes a cup and cover paten of 1571. There are two bells; the larger is ancient without an inscription, the smaller is modern.
The registers date from 1742.
In 1586 Nicholas Bucke of Claverdon was summoned before the Privy Council on the petition of the inhabitants of Norton Lindsey for his 'outrageous conduct' in having 'disquieted the whole parish, ruined their church, cast down the doors, destroyed the windows and totally deprived them of divine service.
