History
[edit]Holy Trinity Church replaced an earlier church which was completed in 1720. [1]
In 1830, plans for a new church were made by James Pain.[2] Joseph Welland altered the plans in 1850, and Holy Trinity Church was completed between 1852 and 1854.[3] The original church bell, which carries the inscription "For the Glory of God – Revd, John Triphook, Rector, 1859", was damaged in 1890, and underwent repairs. This bell was replaced in 1907 by a bell bearing the inscription “Sursum Corda – Cast and erected 1907.”[2]
In 1889, Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral was rebuilt, and the original cathedral's organ was transferred to Holy Trinity Church. [4] It was transported to Schull via the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway. In 1995, the organ was refurbished.[5]
Architecture
[edit]The church is gable-fronted,[4] and features a seven-bay nave.[6] The altar and reading desk are made of carved oak. The font is octagonal, and made of limestone.[7]
