Description:Baswich Church is first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The only surviving part of this early church is found in the north pillar of the chancel arch. The church was rebuilt in 1407 and dedicated to the Holy Trinity, but burned down in 1738 leaving only the chancel and tower. The building was restored by Richard Trubshaw, the spire being replaced by a tower decorated with four Grecian-style urns and a weather vane. Family pews are reached from the outside by a flight of stone steps, seen at the foot of the tower. The interior features an unusual three storey pulpit, the lower deck was used by the clerk, the middle by the parson as a reading desk and the upper level was the pulpit.
