Holy Trinity Church - a place of worship at the heart of St Philips parish

The church was built between 1829 and 1832 by Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson, two architects from Birmingham, who also designed the piers, perimeter walls and railings.

The foundation stone was laid on 22 September 1829, by Lord Mayor John Cave. Later works were carried out on the building circa 1882 by John Bevan and in 1905 by William Venn Gough.

The original bells and fittings were replaced with new ones in April 1927.

On March 15-16 1941 the church was hit by an incendiary device causing damage to trusses, which were repaired in September of the same year.

The Church received payment from the War Damages Commission on 24 July 1946.

The building was included in the list for protected buildings in Bristol by the Ministry for Housing and Local Government on 8 January 1959.
