Description
The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, located on South Street in St Andrews, was founded between 1410 and 1412. The church features a 15th-century tower with an ashlar-built spire and a stair turret spirelet added in the 16th century. It has a cruciform layout and was rebuilt between 1798 and 1800 by architect Robert Balfour. Further alterations were made by Jesse Hall in 1863, and the church was reconstructed again from 1907 to 1909 in a late Scots Gothic style by architect P. Macgregor Chalmers. The church consists of nine bays, with two west arches of the nave and some original cylindrical nave piers.
A notable feature is the monument to Archbishop Sharp, dating from 1679, which is made of white and black marble and includes a kneeling effigy on a sarcophagus, flanked by Corinthian columns and a bas relief, executed in Holland. The church also contains two 16th-century oak stalls and fine stained glass from restoration work by Douglas Strachan, Louis Davis, and others.
