Holy Trinity Church, Dartford , is a parish church affiliated with the Church of England in Dartford , Kent . It is a Grade I listed building dating from the 11th century.[1]
History [ edit ]
Tower of Holy Trinity Church, Dartford.
Located on Dartford High Street next to the River Darent , the oldest part of the church was constructed in approximately 1080 by Gundulf , Bishop of Rochester , on the site of an earlier Saxon building, and was mentioned in the Domesday Book as containing three chapels.[2] [3] Thomas Becket , for use by pilgrims. When that chapel's altar was removed during the English Reformation and the flow of pilgrims dried up, the church ceased to provide a focus for the town's religious and ceremonial life, and many traders lost a valuable source of income.[4] [5]
In about 1485, a fresco depicting Saint George slaying the dragon was painted on one of the church's walls and can still be seen today.[4] [6]
