In late November, Holy Trinity Church Wallington re-opened after a 20-year vision to restore the building to its former splendour for future use.
Following the opening, the church welcomed visitors during the day and evening for guided tours. A steady stream of people came in during Open Week and good conversations were had. These focussed on the aspects of the building that were of historical or artistic interest and from which faith could be explained. Two stained glass windows of the resurrection installed in 1881, the pulpit installed in 1926 ‘for the glory of God and the preaching of his Word’ and the new baptistery all lend themselves to a discussion of the beliefs which lie behind the building.
Holy Trinity Church was built in 1867 to seat 530 people, at a time when the population of Wallington was only around 650.
