The focal point of the High Street is Holy Trinity Church which, architecturally speaking, is of the perpendicular period (1401-1500) with traces of Roman and Norman work. Records show that Richard 11 in 1394 caused to be written "know all men of special grace who have the will to repair certain Chapel in the said town and tobuild anew a certain belfry we have granted them the foundations and to take away and use any stones found theren".
Records indicate that the Church was rich in plate, vestments and stained glass but many of these were either destroyed or sold around 1550, half of the proceeds being used to repair the corn market and the other half spent on stage players who performed on Trinity Sunday. The Alen Chapel on th esouth side was erected in 1517 in honour of a wealthy landownerof that name.
The church underwent extensive restorationin 1912 together with the installation of new pews. Further repair work was carried out on the roof timbers and plaster work in 1969. Re-tiling of the roof took place more recently in 1993. A large extension on the North side of the church linking the Church and existing new Parish roomwas completed circa 1994. The organ was rebuilt in 1966. The tower is 70ft in height and of Kentish Ragstone. In 1999 a number of stones were found to be in urgent need of repair or replacement. First aid work was carried out but a very costly restoration programme costing probably over £100,000 will be necessary stretching into the early part of the 21st century. The tower houses an eight peal of bells which were cast in 1657 and 1746. Two further bells were cast in 1790 and two more in 1897.
A large building known as Wysteria House originally stood to the South of the Church and in front of the existing properties in Church Street. Th ebuilding housed a bakery and corn chandlers together with a manually operated telephone exchange. The demolition of this building opened up the present view of the Church from the lower point of the High Street.
