Holy Trinity Church, Church Charwelton, was built in the C14th and C15th and had its chancel rebuilt in the C17th and C18th. The church was restored, and the chancel was again rebuilt and extended one bay east in 1901-1904, by G. Christopher Carter. It is of ironstone ashlar and coursed ironstone rubble. It has the typical chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, and west tower but with a north chancel chapel added which is now used a a vestry.
The octagonal limestone font is on a square stem, both are carved with flowers, leaves and geometric emblems of the Trinity. It stands on a square plinth with step extension at the west end of the north aisle. There is neither lining nor a cover.
