Holy Trinity Church: Explore & Enjoy
Heritage Open Day: If you have only seen the rather stern Victorian-looking red-brick exterior of the church, then the elegance and simplicity of the interior will come as a complete – and delightful – surprise. Visitors to this church, dating 1696, will find two marvellous surprises!
ONE - some interesting pillars! Peter Mews, the Bishop of Winchester, had donated the land for Holy Trinity, as Gosport's population was rapidly expanding and St Mary’s, Alverstoke was becoming too busy. He then sent 14 oak trees from his estate at Farnham Castle to use as pillars inside the new church - these can still be seen, hidden beneath the plaster-covering if you know where to look...
TWO: an object that would forever be associated with it: the Handel Organ.
