Holy Trinity Church, Weston

The church building stands to the south-east of the village on high ground, and is built of flint and coursed ironstone rubble.

[4] In 1481 the inhabitants of Weston complained that their vicar John Hawthorn was 'a common player, and daily played le Penyprykke and Bowles'.

The church underwent a restoration in 1867 including the addition of the upper stage of the tower,[4] while the vestry was added in 1880.

[2] The five bells in the belfry are: the treble by John Waylett (1716); the second and third by Miles Graye (1634); the fourth by Warner & Sons (1867); and the tenor by R. Chandler (1682).

[1] In the churchyard is the supposed grave of Jack o'Legs, who, according to local legend, lived in a cave in a wood at Weston and who stole food from the people of nearby Baldock.
