Description
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, located at 26 Dumbarton Road in Stirling, was designed by Sir R Rowand Anderson and built between 1875 and 1878. This Early Pointed style church has a cruciform shape, featuring a lean-to narthex at the west gable and a fleche at the crossing. The exterior is constructed of rubble, while the interior is lined with brick.
The nave consists of five bays supported by piers that alternate between round and octagonal shapes, topped with round arches. It includes a clerestory and a waggon roof. The choir is aisleless and has a side chapel, which has been partly modified internally by Sir R S Lorimer.
Inside, the church boasts impressive furnishings, including an iron choir screen, a pulpit made of marble in an octagonal shape with colored shafts and quatrefoils on a quatrefoil-plan stone base, and a brass eagle lectern. The late Gothic gilt altar piece features a sculpture of the nativity, and there is a marble Romanesque font. Additionally, the church contains some notable stained glass windows, several of which were created by Margaret Chilton around 1951.
