Holy Trinity Church (Trinity)
The oldest standing church in the Island, Holy Trinity was constructed as early as 1833. Built as a simple gabled building, it had its tower added sometime toward the end of the Nineteenth Century possibly to house the bell donated to the church in 1880. The Regency Gothic tracery of the windows is more likely an example of the continued use of Gothic detail rather than any conscious attempt at Gothic Revival. The galleries of the interior are very much in keeping with church architecture of the time as is the classical detailing of woodwork. The date of the primitive but elaborate Gothic altar is uncertain but possibly is somewhat later than 18323.
