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.

The west tower dates from the 15th century  and it is interesting to see the date 1612 cared into the south west buttress, proving that this practice is nothing new!

The west tower contains five bells, four of which were cast by the Bilbie family of Chew Stoke in 1773.

Horfield's belfry is the smallest in Bristol, being only nine feet square and is almost unique in having five bells.

The treble was cast by Rudhall of Gloucester in 1807.  

In 1982 the bells were recast and re-hung on oak wheels in a new metal frame.  

The original 4th was broken in 1997 and was replaced the following year by a similar bell which originally hung at South Petherton in Somerset.

The nave and aisles by William Butterfield (who was becoming known locally through his work at Highbury Chapel {now St. Mary's} Cotham and at Coalpit Heath) date from 1847. 

First the galleries were removed, and the chancel extended.  Services were held in the new chancel whilst the north and south aisles were formed by extending the transepts back as far as the tower.  

The nave was 48 feet long and the chancel 24 feet 6 inches with an overall width of 40 feet.  

The completed church was consecrated on 22nd December 1847.  

A white marble slab with a black cross marks the site of the 1847 altar.  

The choir vestry at the west end was built in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee.

The organ, which was built by Palmers of Bristol, was installed in 1885.

The chancel and crossing tower are dated 1893.

The transepts were added in 1913 and 1929.

1994, the organ was in desperate need of a major overhaul and, following the receipt of a generous legacy, this work was very ably carried out by E. A. Cawston; weaknesses in the action were addressed and several new stops added, including a number of mutations and a Great Trumpet.

In 2015, a new solid-state action was installed by Nicholsons of Worcester, and the opportunity was taken to revoice the Trumpet (now playable on both the Swell and Great), to add a sub-octave coupler on the Swell and to stabilise the winding system.

The result is a fine and versatile instrument, ideally suited to the needs of the church.

The church has associated with the Oxford Movement since the early 19th century.

The parish and benefice fall within the Diocese of Bristol.

Some monuments have been preserved from the old Church and have been placed on the walls of the nave and chancel aisle.  

They include some to the Shadwell family, who were 'Lords Farmer' of the Manor and one of interest, just behind the organ console, is to George Armstrong, who fell into the River Frome near the drawbridge and was drowned in 1799. The font is original and could be contemporary with the tower.  

The eagle lectern, a gift from the Revd. Fanshaw Bingham (Rector 1878-1899 and author of a useful history of the parish) was stolen in June 2002.  

The stained glass in the aisle was given by the Richards family in memory of their deceased children, whilst the East window is a memorial to the wife of one of the Rectors, The Revd. Clement Hutchinson.

 In the Lady Chapel the east window is dedicated to Archibald Walters, known as 'The Boy Hero', who died from exposure in a field in the parish in 1874.

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.

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.
