Abstract:
South West Archaeology Ltd. Undertook a limited programme of building recording at Holy Trinity Church, Ilfracombe, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to assess the fabric affected by the restoration of the roof of this building and to set it in its historical and archaeological context. The parish church of the Holy Trinity is Grade I Listed, with a 12th century Norman church and tower, enlarged in the 1320s and the 15th century, before considerable renovations in the 19th century. The Church of the Holy Trinity is the mother church to St. Peter's on Highfield Road. The roofs at the eastern end of the church were stripped and reslated as part of a wider restoration project. The opening up of the roof allowed further analysis and information gathering, to add to the record of the Grade I Listed building. The areas viewed during the visit were the north aisles, north section beyond the tower and the north side of the chancel. The observed roof works confirmed or highlighted the known phasing within the building, as interpreted by Pevsner. For example, the timbers of the north chancel aisle are of a lighter scantling than those to the widened north nave aisle and the south aisle. This matches the expected phasing of the north chancel aisle as a later addition, when the chancel was further extended in the early 15th century. The widening of the rest of the aisles occurred in the later 15th century. This confirms a slow expansion and aggrandisement of the church from the 13-15th centuries.
