Holy Trinity Church, Brighton

Holy Trinity Church is a Gothic Revival building in central Brighton featuring walls of knapped flint and stone dressings. Its eastern facade displays three round-arched lancet windows that characterize its period architectural style.

Thomas Read Kemp founded this building in 1817 as a Nonconformist chapel, later converting it to an Anglican place of worship when he returned to the Church of England. In the late 1800s, renovations transformed it from its original Doric design with a square tower to its current Gothic style.

The building now houses the Fabrica art gallery, displaying contemporary exhibitions. It has become a meeting place where local artists and visitors come together to experience modern creative work.

The building is located on Ship Street in central Brighton and welcomes visitors interested in viewing contemporary art. Its central location makes it easy to reach, and regular opening hours accommodate various visiting schedules.

The building was originally designed in the Doric style with a square tower, an unusual choice for its era. This earlier appearance was completely hidden by its later Gothic transformation.
