The Trinity Centre, formerly the Holy Trinity Church, in Lawrence Hill, Bristol is designated by English Heritage as a grade II * listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 The building is protected by a covenant, which states that it is to only be used for community, arts, youth and education services. This covenant has influenced much of the building's recent use as an arts and community venue. ==Holy Trinity Church== The church was built between 1829 and 1832 by Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson,〔 two architects from Birmingham, who also designed the piers, perimeter walls and railings which are also listed. The church is built using Bath stone in a Perpendicular style, a style of English Gothic architecture characterised by its strong emphasis on the vertical elements and its linear design.〔Chilcott, John, Chilcott's Stranger's Guide to Bristol, 1859〕 It has two octagonal bell towers with open turrets on the west face of the building.〔Pryce, George: A Popular History Of Bristol, 1861〕 The towers sit on either side of the main entrance and the west window. During a period when the building sat empty, the bells were taken and either sold for scrap or to another church. The towers now sit empty and are occupied only by bats and pigeons. The original bells and fittings were replaced with new ones in April 1927. The work was carried out by local firm Llewellins & James Ltd of Castle Green. It cost £47 10s for bells and labour although an additional £3 10s was incurred when the workmen realised that they had to remove the floor of the towers to get the new bells in. The Holy Trinity Church had 2,200 seats with 1,500 of these being free.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trinity Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
