Description

The Church of the Holy Trinity is an Anglican church located on Trinity Street in Taunton, built in 1842 by Richard Carver of Taunton and refitted in 1882. It is designed in the Perpendicular style, featuring a Decorated style east window. The exterior is constructed of pale ashlar, with a nave that has a projecting chancel. The building is topped with battlements and has pinnacles at the corners. It includes pointed two-light windows with large transoms to accommodate galleries inside, and the windows are separated by buttresses. The church has a prominent west tower with set-back buttresses and an openwork parapet, although the pinnacles are missing.

Inside, the church features a single-span tie-beam roof adorned with elaborate tracery above the tie-beam. There is a gallery on three sides with a Gothic panelled front supported by cast-iron clustered columns. The gallery contains box-pews, while the rest of the seating was replaced in 1882. A tall pointed chancel arch leads into the chancel, and there is a fine organ located at the west end of the gallery, built in 1845 by William Hill. The east window contains stained glass.
