Building Project
Major re-ordering project at Holy Trinity Church
The church building at Holy Trinity will be closed for major re-ordering works including a new heating system and installation of an accessible toilet from 7 October to 29 March 2025.
The church has been without a heating system since 2019, and we have been making do with a temporary boiler which blows hot air into the building. The church has been bitterly cold in the winter months. We now have authority from the Diocese to lay underfloor heating in the nave and south aisle which will provide constant background heat, supplemented by wall mounted radiators there, and in the east end of the church. To do this, the pews will need to be lifted and new cream coloured stone will be laid in the nave and south aisle, in the areas where the pews are now. This will match the stone in the chancel and side chapels. It is not practical to reinstate the pews (they are in poor condition after over 160 years’ service) so we will replace them with free standing chairs, some with arms, that will allow the church to be used for a variety of events as well as church services. On completion of the work, the church will look much brighter, and all the floors will be covered in a mix of new cream coloured stone and the red and black chequer pattern tiles.
