Holy Trinity Church, Leamington Spa is a Grade II listed parish church in Leamington Spa, England.
History[]
Holy Trinity Church was started in 1825 as a daughter church of All Saints' Church and opened in 1847. [1] It was designed by Mitchell of Leamington Spa, to the commission of Revd John Craig, vicar of All Saints.[2]
It was enlarged in 1865, and more work took place in 1881 when the transepts were enlarged and a vestry was provided by John Cundall.
A parish was formed in 1899.
The porch and east chancel wall date from 1900, and there were further alterations just before the First World War.
Organ[]
The church has a large four-manual pipe organ which dates from 1880. Originally by Forster and Andrews the organ has been rebuilt and restored many times. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[3]
