*************

The Church of the Holy Trinity in Burrington, Somerset, England, is from the 15th century and was restored in 1884. It is a Grade I listed building.^[1]

The tower is square with diagonal buttresses but joins somewhat uncomfortably with the nave. It dates from the early 14th century.^[2] It contains a bell dating from 1713 and made by Edward Bilbie of the Bilbie family.^[3]

The rest of the church is all late Perpendicular. There are a few remnants of pre-Reformation stained glass but the great majority of the windows are Victorian. Of these the most notable are: the window in the south wall of the south aisle by Warrington; the window from the east in the south aisle by Charles Eamer Kempe; the west window of the south aisle by Warde and Hughes; and the west window of the north aisle by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.^[2] One window includes the arms of the Capels of Langford Court.

The pews were installed in 1913 in memory of William Wills, 1st Baron Winterstoke.^[2]

In 2000 a gold leaf weathervane was erected at the top of the tower.^[2]

Burrington is a small village and civil parish in Somerset, England. It is situated in the Unitary authority of North Somerset, 5 miles (8.0 km) north east of Axbridge and about 10 miles (16 km) east of Weston-super-Mare. The parish includes the hamlets of Bourne^[2] and Rickford and has a population of 464.^[1]

Burrington is believed to mean 'The villa and an enclosure' from the Old English bur, end and tun.^[3]

Burrington was part of the hundred of Brent-cum-Wrington.^[4]

In the 15th century the village was called Beryngton and was involved in lead mining.^[5]

It is very close to Burrington Combe where there is evidence of occupation since Neolithic times, the Bronze Age and Roman periods.^[6] There is also an Iron Age hillfort known as Burrington Camp.

The 19th century Methodist chapel in Rickford is now a masonic lodge
