Leamington Spa, Holy Trinity - a photo on Flickriver

            Holy Trinity church in Beauchamp Square, Leamington Spa blends subtly with it's surroundings, possesing no lofty steeple (though the main south west entrance was clearly intended as the lower stage of a never completed tower). 

The church we see today is the result of several phases, initially begun in 1847 but largely the work of J.Cundall from 1881 and 1913.  The nave is spacious and light (thanks to large mostly clear aisle windows) whilst the crossing, transepts and chancel possess more ornate detailing, windows and intimate spaces, with stained glass subduing the light in these parts of the building.

The glass itself is an interesting collection of well drawn late 19th/early 20th century work. The east window (and two more either side) is the work of Heaton, Butler & Bayne of London c1889. The intensly dark south transept windowe is by Collier c1891 in an unsually painterly style. There are further windows by Percy Bacon (of London) but my favourite is the impressive north transept window c1950, late Arts & Crafts in style, boldy coloured and freely painted (if only I could recall the artist!)

My grandfather, Andrew Forrester Thomson was churchwarden here up to his death in 1968.
