The Church of the Holy Trinity in Burrington, Somerset, England, is from the 15th century and was restored in 1884. It is a Grade I listed building.[1]

The tower is square with diagonal buttresses but joins somewhat uncomfortably with the nave. It dates from the early 14th century.[2] It contains a bell dating from 1713 and made by Edward Bilbie of the Bilbie family.[3]

The rest of the church is all late Perpendicular. There are a few remnants of pre-Reformation stained glass but the great majority of the windows are Victorian. Of these the most notable are: the window in the south wall of the south aisle by Warrington; the window from the east in the south aisle by Charles Eamer Kempe; the west window of the south aisle by Warde and Hughes; and the west window of the north aisle by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.[2] One window includes the arms of the Capels of Langford Court.

The pews were installed in 1913 in memory of William Wills, 1st Baron Winterstoke.[2]

In 2000 a gold leaf weathervane was erected at the top of the tower.[2]
