Holy Trinity Church, Taunton
Holy Trinity Church Taunton
is one of the largest Church of England parishes in Taunton. Situated in the south east of the town, the parish church is just 100 yards behind East Reach, the main road into the town centre from the Bridgwater exit of the motorway or A38.
The church itself stands out from the buildings surrounding it, and indeed Taunton itself. Clad in white lias stone, it has a tower nearly 90' tall, and is a large airy but compact building, which originally seated over 1000 people. It is very plain, almost austere to look at, but many people going in for the first time comment on its beauty, its peace and its prayerfulness. The tower contains a ring of six bells which today ring out as a witness to the Christian faith witnessed to for so many years in this place. Built 18th June 1842.

The Church itself has a hearing loop and sound system and disabled access. There is plenty of room for pushchairs or wheelchairs; large print books are always available. For the young, there are busy bags. Toilets are available, but unfortunately internal sanitation was not high on the Victorian builders' agenda, and they are not presently easily accessible for those with mobility difficulties! The two hall buildings on the church site are frequently used by the local community: a Playgroup, Folk Dancers, Weight Watchers, Table Tennis players all have regular bookings, and the halls are also available for private hire at competitive rates.
