Location of Holy Trinity Old Church in Dorset

Holy Trinity Old Church in Bothenhampton, Dorset, England was built in the 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 1 April 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 23 October 1972.[3]

The chancel and the 15th century tower are the only parts of this mediaeval parish church to survive,[2] after the nave was demolished and a new Holy Trinity Church built in 1889.[1] Subsequently the chancel was used as a mortuary chapel. In 1971, the dilapidated state of the church lead to it being formally declared redundant and in 1972 it became the responsibility of the Redundant Churches Fund, which became the Churches Conservation Trust.[4]

The interior of the church includes an early Georgian reredos.[2]
