Shaftesbury (Holy Trinity)

Shaftesbury (Holy Trinity)

Church by Sir George Gilbert Scott, 1841. Pevsner says that it is still much of the Commissioners' type with lancet windows in pairs and triplets.

Bells:

The church did have a ring of 6 bells. I think that two remain in the care of the Shaftesbury museum.
