Category: Memorial Tablet

There are 23 memorial (or mural) tablets within Holy Trinity Church that we currently have records for. Some of these may be located under the floors or in cupboards and are not accessible. We intend to investigate and record these memorials at some point in the future.

Many of the tablets are not normally visible to the general public but may be viewed by prior appointment with Trinity Arts Centre. This is subject to performance timings as some of the tablets are on the stage and behind the scenes and even in cupboards.

This page is a work in progress so please check again to see if anything new has been added.

The map below shows the ones on the ground floor of Trinity Arts Centre. More will be added once locations are confirmed. There is no map of the upper floor at present.
