Holy Trinity is a big church, and its vastness isn't really apparent until you get close up - the graveyard is so wide. The size of the building is a result of the late medieval piety of the local Hobart family, particularly Sir James Hobart, who is depicted inside. He arranged the complete rebuilding in the 1480s, so it is all of a piece and roughly contemporary with Suffolk's even bigger Southwold, with which it has some similarities. The tower was topped out in the early years of the sixteenth century, the massive porch following soon after, and there you are, a complete church more or less, with nothing for the Reformation to interrupt.
