History

The first record of a church in Trowell is from 801, when a wooden church was built. [3]

The present Early English chancel was built in 1080, [4] and the Domesday Book says "Here is a priest and half a church and six acres of meadow." [4] Much of the current church dates from the 13th century, with the tower having been added in 1480. [2] [4] A Victorian restoration was undertaken in 1890 by Charles Hodgson Fowler at a cost of £1,500. [4]

From 2016 a renewal project was supported by public donations to replace the heating system. [3] It reopened in 2018 but further work was planned to improve the power supply and lighting. [5]

The Church of England parish of Trowell is part of a benefice with St Peter's Church, Awsworth and St Catherine's Church, Cossall within the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. [6]

Architecture

The sandstone building consists of a three-bay nave, two-bay chancel, three-bay north and south aisles and a porch on the south side. The two-stage west tower has a crenelated parapet and is supported by four corner buttresses. [2] The stained glass includes a window by Charles Eamer Kempe. [2] The octagonal font dates from the 15th century. [2]

Organ

The organ is by Brindley and Foster. It was installed in 1900 and funded by William Smith, a local miller. [4] A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [7]

Clock

The clock on the tower was built in 1881 for the Nottingham Exchange by G. & F. Cope and moved here in 1927. [2]
