Holy Trinity is a church in Sunderland. It was opened in 1719 as the church for the newly created Parish of Sunderland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Holy Trinity Church - photo gallery (image 1) )〕 It is a listed building and is one of the oldest buildings in the East End of Sunderland.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author = Wearside Online )〕 It is unknown who built the church, but what is known for sure is that Daniel Newcombe – who was appointed rector – and William Etty were involved in some of its design. A plaque marking its ''Grade I listed building'' status credits Etty as the designer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Holy Trinity Church - photo gallery (image 4) )〕 In its early years, the building was also home to the ''Select Vestrymen'' — in effect the town council — and the library〔 and the mechanical fire pump. The church is no longer used for regular worship. This grade 1 listed building is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust and is being restored with support from The Heritage Lottery Fund and other funders. ==History== * 1712 — Local merchants campaign for a new church to be built. * 1719 — First recorded baptisms, of Primus Barwick and Mary Whiton, on July 25. * 1719 — Church consecrated on September 5. * 1735 — Near-circular apse with Venetian window added by Daniel Newcombe, as the church initially had no chancel. * 1803 — Gallery added.Roof reconstructed by Thomas Wilson and windows re-glazed. * 1838 — Memorial erected to Revd Robert Gray, rector from 1819 to 1838. * 1856 — Clockface on tower added.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Holy Trinity Church - photo gallery (image 3) )〕 * 1842 — Gallery extension constructed, but later removed. * 1900 (circa) — Windows re-glazed for the second time. * 1936 — Organ built. * 1939–1945 — slight war damage. * 1980s — building in need of expensive repairs. * 1988 — cost of renovation and dwindling congregation cause the final service to be held on June 26, and church the closes a few days later. 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「Holy Trinity Church, Sunderland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
