Holy Trinity Church, Goodramgate, York is a Grade I listed[1] former parish church in the Church of England in York[2] now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust

History

The church dates from the 12th century. The south east chapel is 13th century, and the south aisle and south arcade date from the 14th century.

It was enlarged in 1823 when the north side was rebuilt. The south porch was added in 1849. The condition of the building was poor by 1882[3] and regular worship was suspended for over 50 years until 1937 when restoration work was completed.[4] The oak rafters were renewed and the roof was restored. The pier supporting the arches between the nave and north aisle were underpinned with concrete, and the decaying stonework on the south aisle walls was renewed.

Parish status

It was declared redundant on 29 June 1971, and was vested in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust on 7 November 1972.[5] A restoration was carried out between 1973 and 1974.
