Scene Description: Source caption: "Holy Trinity Church, Kirton. View from the north east. The core of the church is 13th century but many of the windows are later insertions from the 14th or 15th centuries. The Perpendicular style tower is also 15th century. Unlike many churches, where the vestry is a Victorian addition, this one dates from the 15th century."
