A Brief History of The Church of the Holy Trinity: Pat Brownback has written a brief history of the Church (see below). We are incorporating this information into our Worship Booklets as well.
January 5, 1885: The first service is held in Freeds Hall, Main Street, Lansdale, conducted by a deacon from The Church of the Messiah, Gwynedd.
1890: The present church building is erected at Fourth and Broad Streets, built by Philadelphia architect, Samuel Milligan, using plans adapted by Mr. Weems, an English architect from St. Giles, the parish of Stoke Poges. St. Giles was built in 1222 and is the final resting place of the Penn family, founders of Pennsylvania. St. Giles was made famous by Thomas Greys Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard.
1903: The rectory is constructed.
1930: The parish hall (St. Margarets Hall) is built.
1946: Holy Trinity is granted parish status by the Diocese of Pennsylvania.
1957: The parish house is enlarged and an educational wing is added.
1965: The church building is extended and the altar is moved away from the wall, enabling the celebrant to face the congregation during the Eucharist. The linear communion rail becomes semi-circular and the choir is moved to behind the altar. A modern stained glass window depicting a descending dove is installed behind the baptismal font. The dark wood in the nave is replaced by light wood. In recent years, chairs have replaced the pews.
1990: The former Guild Room, located between the narthex and St. Margarets Hall is transformed into a chapel. Later in the 1990s two new stained glass windows are added to the nave and the rose window is replaced.
