Holy Trinity, and combines traditional hymns and modern

instrumentalists working on a

can find out more about the worship and services on the
Parish Website.
The Church:
Holy Trinity (War
Memorial) Parish
Church was built in 1920 to 1922, although the chancel dates from 1908. The
high quality of craftsmanship and design is remarked on
by Pevsner. (We are told the windows are seen as
significant as a late example of Arts and Crafts
Movement influence.) The style is Decorated Gothic. The
architects were Hicks and Charlewood and Hoare and
Wheeler. The building is in the Decorated style, with
windows by Nicholson Studios and fine Rushworth and
Dreapers organ.
The heating system
was added in the 1980s to replace the original oil-fired
central heating system. (The boiler remains in the
crypt, and the large cast-iron radiators remain in
church, as these were deemed original fixtures, and not
to be removed. As a result, the air-heating system was
placed in the tower, and fans added to push the heated
air down.)
A reversible
platform/dais and more functional communion rail were
added in 1999 at the same time as a good quality sound
and hearing loop installation was fitted. |
