Holy Trinity Church, Aldershot

The first new church to be built in the town, work began on building Holy Trinity in 1875 when the foundation stone was laid by Edward Harold Browne, Bishop of Winchester and was completed in 1878.

The church has a steep slate roof and is constructed of brick and coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and is designed in an adaptation of 13th-century Early English style.

The church could accommodate 800 people, but lack of funds meant that the tower and spire of Stapley's original design were never built.

During World War II it served the men of the Canadian Army Overseas, whose chaplains conducted services for the troops who were quartered in Wellington Lines, Aldershot.

It became traditional for drafts who were leaving Aldershot to join the forces overseas to hold a communion service in this church before being deployed.
