Church of the Holy Trinity, church in Frome, Somerset, United Kingdom
Church of the Holy Trinity is a stone church building built in 1837 in Frome, featuring Gothic Revival design by architect Henry Goodridge. Inside, the space opens with high ceilings and simple wooden benches facing the altar, while nine stained glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones and additional windows above the altar by the Horwood Brothers fill the interior with colored light.
Built in 1837 by architect Henry Goodridge in Gothic Revival style, the church was designated Grade II* listed in 1974 for its architectural importance. Between 1880 and 1918, nine stained glass windows by artist Edward Burne-Jones were installed, and from 1903 to 1906, a large iron rood screen by Singer & Co was added, later relocated within a side chapel.
The name refers to the Christian Trinity, a core faith concept that shapes the spiritual meaning of the space. The interior's colored glass windows and wooden benches create an atmosphere where both traditional worship and modern gatherings take place, reflecting how the community uses it today.
The church is open at certain times for visitors to walk inside and view the stone architecture and stained glass windows at your own pace. An informational pamphlet available on-site describes each window with illustrations and details, helping you understand the artwork and history as you explore.
Emma Sheppard, a reformer who fought for better conditions in workhouses, is buried in the churchyard and connects the place to local social history. The iron rood screen by Singer & Co from the early 1900s was later moved to a side chapel, where visitors can see this detailed metalwork today.
