Holy Trinity Church in Guildford is a brick building decorated with detailed religious frescos on its interior walls. The space inside features one of the largest unsupported ceilings found in southern England, creating an open and expansive feeling.
History
The original medieval church collapsed in 1740, leading to a classical-style replacement designed by James Horne in 1763. The Weston Chapel, dating from 1540, remained under private family control for centuries before becoming part of the church in 2005.
