Church of the Holy Trinity with St Edmund
The Anglican Church of the Holy Trinity with St Edmund is a church on Wellington Hill, Horfield in Bristol, England. It has been designated as a grade II* listed building.[1][2]  The west tower dates from the 15th century. It contains five bells, four of which were cast by the Bilbie family of Chew Stoke in 1773.[3] The nave and aisles by William Butterfield date from 1847, and the chancel and crossing tower are dated 1893. The transepts were added in 1913 and 1929.[2][3] The organ, which was built by Palmers of Bristol, was installed in 1885.[4] The church has associated with the Oxford Movement since the early 19th century.[3] The parish and benefice fall within the Diocese of Bristol.[5] In 1877 the graveyard became the resting place of Newport Chartist John Frost. Although Frost's grave site was lost for many years, in the 1980s a new headstone was created and re-erected on the site, with the aid of a grant from Newport City Council. The new headstone was unveiled by Neil Kinnock.[6][7] There are also war graves of 17 British and two Canadian service personnel of World War I, and a Royal Navy sailor of World War II.[8] See also
