A church has stood in Blythburgh for a thousand years. Holy Trinity is a magnificent building which can be seen rising above the Blyth estuary — affectionately known as ‘The Cathedral of the Marshes’.

Holy Trinity Blythburgh has a small but vibrant core worshipping community committed to enabling as many people as possible to share in worship and parish life. We are a fully inclusive church, and our services and worship try to put a welcoming faith into practice through prayer, sacrament, scripture and music. On the first Sunday of each month, we welcome a larger congregation for Evensong, sung by the Blythburgh Singers  – formed from other local choirs for just this service.

We warmly welcome visitors to the church which is open every day from 9.00am until dusk, Visitors are encouraged to take photographs and, as the home of The Legend of Black Shuck, we also welcome dogs! The Hopton Chapel in the far northeast corner of the church is open for private prayer and reflection.

The church has outstanding acoustics – especially favoured by composer Benjamin Britten – and is a popular venue for concerts, dramatic productions and art exhibitions. It is also a well-used community space. Holy Trinity is very much ‘owned’ by the village.

We take safeguarding seriously and the Parochial Church Council has adopted the Church of England's national policy 'Promoting a Safer Church'. For more information see www.cofesuffolk.org/safeguarding. Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Sally East who can be contacted by email at: pso.blythburgh@solebaychurches.org.uk.

Due to the recent development of the church’s tower space two toilets are now available inside the church, one of which is fully accessible. These will be open during all services and events, and at all times to holders of a RADAR key.
