HOLY TRINITY, STRATFORD
Holy Trinity is celebrated internationally as “Shakespeare’s Church”, where the bard was baptized and is buried. There has been a church on the site since Saxon times, but the earliest fabric dates from the 1220s.
Stephen Oliver was appointed church architect in 2012 and has taken forward a series of projects, starting with a new light fitting in the North Transept and masonry and leadwork repairs to the South Aisle, where replacement finials were based on newly-discovered archive photographs. A new extension was completed in 2016, and opened by HRH Prince Charles on the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.
Our design for the extension won the 2017 RICS West Midlands Building Conservation Award. In 2018 the project was highly commended for the Natural Stone Awards.
