[edit] Saint Botolph's Parish Church

Trunch hosts the 14th-century church of St Botolph's. The church is famous for its carved and painted wood canopy.^[2] Only four such canopies still exist in England. St Botolph's also features a hammerbeam roof with carved angels, as well as medieval misericords under the seats in the chancel. Lord Nelson's daughter is said to have been married in the church.

The fictional village of St. Just-near-Trunch is famed in English folk music as the home of the satirical band The Kipper Family.
