!["The church was built in about 1020 as a 'minster' or pre-parochial mission to the pagan forest and marsh dwellers. The Saxon features of the interior include the low [?], three-bay nave arcades and crossing. Clustered piers rise to bulbous capitals, like old pillows crammed under plain arches" (Simon Jenkins, "England's Thousand Best Churches"). Holy Trinity is Grade I listed - see http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-54346-church-of-holy-trinity-great-paxton-cambr](https://storage.googleapis.com/natbase-94192.firebasestorage.app/observations/2B8bxkdFrRaNBKHKuJcfbhTowL22/1775895070951_3914186_9480c005.jpg)
