Church
Holy Trinity Church, Coventry, is a parish church of the Church of England in Coventry , West Midlands , England. Above the chancel arch is an impressive Doom wall-painting.
History
[ edit ]
The church dates from the 12th century and is the only Medieval church in Coventry that is still complete.[1] [2] ft ) long and has a spire 72 metres (236 ft ) high, one of the tallest non-cathedral spires in the UK.
The church was restored in 1665–1668, and the tower was recased in 1826 by Thomas Rickman . The east end was rebuilt in 1786 and the west front by Richard Charles Hussey in 1843.
The inside of the church was restored by George Gilbert Scott in 1854.
Doom painting
[ edit ] Doom painting in Holy Trinity Church Memorial to the dead of HMS Coventry in the Falklands War 1982
The doom painting was painted above the tower arch in 1430s. It was discovered in 1831, covered by a lime wash, and was then restored and varnished over by David Gee .[1] [3]
Organ
[ edit ]
The church had a pipe organ which had evolved over a long period of time with work by many builders, the last by Henry Willis and Sons. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[4]
History
[ edit ]
1526: This is the earliest recorded organ, built by John Howe and John Clynmowe of London for £30. In the late 16th century it was dismantled as the Puritan clergy at Holy Trinity disapproved of organs.
1631: Samuel Buggs (Vicar), "procured" a replacement instrument.
1640s: Puritans back in charge, organ sold for £30.
1732: The German Thomas Swarbrick , who also supplied a new organ for Coventry Cathedral (Old Cathedral), built one for Holy Trinity for £600. It was placed upon a gallery erected for it across the Nave and had 2 manuals.
1829: Swell and pedal added.
1855–1861: As part of the George Gilbert Scott restoration of the church, a new organ chamber was built in the westernmost bay of the south chancel aisle. This instrument of 3 manuals plus pedals, was built by Forster and Andrews for £800.
1900: Rebuilt by W. Hill & Sons with some of the old work incorporated; 4 manuals.
1923: Electric blowing chest added.
1933: J. Charles Lee of Coventry added pneumatic pistons.
1961: Rebuilt for £12,200 by the firm of Henry Willis, the organ contained 59 speaking stops, each with 61 pipes, along with 30 couplers and 3 tremolos.
2007: Organ was dismantled, due to it being beyond repair. A funding appeal has been launched for a new organ, which will cost approximately £600,000.
