Our Church

Almost central in the village is the Spar shop, post office and petrol station. There is also a pub, The Three Tuns. The church building with its churchyard stands within the village on the main road, while on the opposite of the road is Church House -- the residence of a former vicar, who willed the property for the use of the parishioners. Unfortunately this building is in a poor state and it is to be sold. Consultations are continuing but we hope to convert the church to a community centre type building very much on the lines of the church at Beesby.

Church House is used by the Church as a meeting place and for fund raising events. B.A.D.G.E. (Bilsby and District Group Effort), which is a village organisation, holds its meetings and functions in Church House. The Art Group holds classes here, as does the Sugarcraft Guild. The largest event to take place in Church House is the Annual Bilsby Show which takes place in August. Holy Trinity Church takes part in this event by playing host to a Flower Exhibition.

Holy Trinity Church is constructed of stone covered with stucco and consists of a chancel, North Aisle, Nave, South Porch and West Tower, which is topped with old brick battlements. The windows are Georgian.

All the windows in the main church have recently been refurbished and double glazed. This work has been fully funded by a generous legacy in 2005.

Although attendance figures have fallen slightly in the last few years, an unfortunate reflection of the age of the attendees, the attitude of the congregation remains positive.
