Dating from 1841, Holy Trinity in Seaton, was not the earliest recorded Church in the Village. As early as 1201, there was a Chapel dedicated to St Thomas-a-Becket (Thomas the Martyr) permission being given for the Chapel by Bishop Phillip of Poitou (Bishop from 1197-1208). The site of this Chapel, which declined following the Reformation and was gone by the Civil War, is believed to be about the No 1 Tee at the Golf Club, on old Charts the area was marked as "Chapel Entry".
