Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, Anglican cathedral in Hamilton, Bermuda
The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity is an Anglican cathedral in the heart of Hamilton, Bermuda, built from local limestone with decorative accents of French Caen stone. It follows the Gothic Revival style, with pointed arches, a tall tower, and high stone walls that give it a solid and upright presence on the street.
A fire in 1884 destroyed the original Trinity Church on this site, and the Scottish architect William Hay was chosen to design a replacement in the Gothic Revival style. The new building was completed in 1905 and has stood on the same spot ever since.
The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Bermuda and the center of Anglican life on the island, where services and ceremonies regularly bring the community together. Inside, light filters through tall stained glass windows, giving the interior a warm and welcoming feel.
The cathedral is in the center of Hamilton, easy to reach on foot from most parts of the city. Those who want to climb the tower should be aware that it involves around 155 steps, so it is worth considering if you have any difficulty with stairs.
The limestone used to build the cathedral was quarried directly in Bermuda, meaning the building is literally made from the island's own ground. Over time, this local stone has developed a soft, creamy patina that makes the cathedral look different from most Gothic Revival churches in Europe.
