The Church of the Holy Trinity is often known as Holy Trinity Church or as Shakespeare's Church because William Shakespeare was baptised and buried there.

The edifice was raised in 1210 on the site of a Saxon monastery. The church is open to visitors for much of the year. A small contribution is requested to access the chancel and sanctuary in which Shakespeare is buried. The Royal Shakespeare company performed Henry VIII in the church in XXXX. It is an active parish church serving a parish of some 17,000 people. More than 200,000 tourists visit the church each year.

In Holy Trinity, one can find:

- A 14th-century sanctuary knocker in the church's porch

- Twenty-six 15th century seats in the chancel, with religious, secular and mythical carvings

- Several large stained glass windows featuring major English and Biblical saints at the church's east and west ends.

The Holy Trinity Church is essentially famous because it is the location of Shakespeare's funerary monument. William Shakespeare, poet and playwright, was baptised in Holy Trinity Church on 26 April 1564 and was buried there on 25 April 1616. The church still possesses the original Elizabethan register giving details of his baptism and burial, though it is kept by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust for safekeeping. He is buried in the 15th-century chancel built by Thomas Balsall.

Shakespeare would have come to Holy Trinity every week when he was in town. His wife Anne Hathaway is buried next to him along with his eldest daughter Susanna.
