A SHORT INTRODUCTION
The church of the Holy Trinity, Bosham, within the Diocese of Chichester is one of the earliest churches in Sussex. Built on what are generally regarded as Roman foundations, this Tenth Century church is one of the most important Saxon churches in the Diocese. It was here that St Wilfrid, who had arrived to convert the South Saxons, met a small community of Irish monks under the leadership of Dicul in 681. This is recorded by the Venerable Bede in his ‘History of the English Church and People’, written in the eighth century.
One of its most famous features is the chancel arch, which is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry. Its Saxon tower is perhaps the most extant of any in England.
We are visited every year by many hundreds of visitors and we are always delighted to welcome everyone. The church is kept open during daylight hours and there is space for prayer and to be quiet.
You are, of course, most welcome to join us in our Sunday worship.
