Chilton Trinity is a village and civil parish on the River Parrett, 2 miles (3 km) north of Bridgwater in the Sedgemoor district of Somerset, England.

Iron age and Roman pottery have been found at Chilton village. The name Chilton implies a settlement for younger sons.[1]

The Church of the Holy Trinity was established in the 13th century, but the current building dates from the 15th century with 19th century renovation and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[2]
