Photograph of Holy Trinity Church, North Walls, Winchester
Taken about 1870
The nineteenth century, with its revival of Anglican activity following the relative lethargy of the Georgian period, witnessed major developments in the organisation of the Church of England. In Winchester several old churches were rebuilt and three new parishes created, one of them being Holy Trinity which was formed from part of the parish of St. Maurice in the poorer Brooks area of the city. The flint church was designed by Henry Woodyer in French Gothic style and was built in the 1850s.
The photograph was taken by Winchester photographer William Savage (1817-87) and is found in an album entitled 'Hampshire Views of Churches, Country Houses and Public Buildings'.
