Description of Archaeology and History
Holy Trinity was consecrated in 1696 in the reign of William and Mary. It was originally built as a chapel of ease to the Church of St. Mary at Alverstoke (a Doomsday Book parish) on land given by Bishop Peter Mews of Winchester and was paid for by the inhabitants of Gosport. During the 18th century the church was extended eastwards to include the present sanctuary.
During the incumbency of the Reverend Oliver Walford (1844-89) major work was carried out on the interior of the building by Sir Arthur Blomfield who also built the free-standing bell tower to the north of the church. The screen at the west end is by Blomfield and it was during this period too that the font and the pulpit were installed.
