Holy Trinity Church, Guildford, Anglican church in central Guildford, England
Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican church in the center of Guildford, England, built in brick and listed as a Grade I protected building. The interior walls are covered with religious frescos, and the ceiling spans the nave without visible supports.
The original medieval church collapsed in 1740, and a new building in a classical style was completed in 1763 to a design by James Horne. The Weston Chapel, built around 1540, stayed under the control of a single private family for centuries before joining the wider church complex in 2005.
Holy Trinity Church is an active parish church where choral singing is a regular part of worship throughout the week. Visitors are welcome to enter outside of service times and simply sit in the nave, which remains open during the day.
The church sits in the pedestrian center of Guildford, so it is easy to reach on foot from the main shopping street. It is open outside of service times for individual visits, though it is worth checking the notice board at the entrance for any closures.
The Weston Chapel, built around 1540, predates the main church building by more than 200 years and has its own distinct character. Many visitors walk through without noticing it, even though it sits within the same complex and is open to the public.
