	Restoration Underway History
1847	MAKE A DONATION	2004

Holy Trinity Church is a simple and beautiful Church designed by James Savage. It built 175 years ago (1828 – 1830). Savage modelled the church on on Kings College Chapel Cambridge. The church is in need of restoration but our spirits are high. After a fantastic effort by the whole congregation, who raised over £40,000, and support from many Trusts the first phase of the project focused on stonework and roof repairs, is underway.

We take this opportunity to thank the Alan Evans Memorial Trust, the All Churches Trust, the David Knightly Charitable Trust, Pride of Place Award, the Edmonton Area Council, London Diocese, the Garfield Weston Foundation, the Gatliff Trust, Haringey Community Chest (the Scarman Trust), Heritage Lottery Fund, the Heritage of London Trust, the Historic Churches Preservation Trust and the Manifold Trust.

This work will secure the shell of the building by making the roof and walls weather proof.

We have also repaired the internal plaster work

We have restarted the clock. The face is to be refurbished to restore its appearance.

Cleaning the white brick external walls - work complete. See the result

Now we are trying to raise a further £15,000 to clean the brickwork. An anonymous donor has given £20,000 towards the total cost.


Before		After, as demonstrated by a test patch

The church is built largely with white Suffolk Brick. If cleaned the building will appear a yellow/cream colour as it was when first opened 175 years ago. We are confident that removing the dirt and grime of 175 years of London air pollution will restore the appearance of the brick walls to their former glory. Once cleaned the bricks will remain clean for decades, thanks the cleaner atmosphere in London. The cleaning will make a lasting contribution to the conservation of the historic environment of Tottenham Green, the heart of the old Tottenham Borough.

Thank you

Thank you very much for your support. We are most grateful.

Continuing on our Journey

We have started our journey but we have further to go.

We have a vision. We have a mission. Over the past three years the community of Holy Trinity has come to realise that it is the custodian of a beautiful and historic building. It is one of the finest buildings in Tottenham.

Our spirits are high. We are united by our determination to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and our mutual respect and love for one another. We are, indeed, a loving and caring community who worship within the low tradition of the Church of England.

Our church architect, Mr Patrick Crawford of Caroe & Partners has provided professional leadership to our large, active and ethnically diverse church community.
