Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Ayr
Ayrshire
Holy Trinity Ayr is a beautiful church completed in 1900 and is Scotland’s major example of the work of John Loughborough Pearson. It is built of cream stone with narrow lancet windows to the gables and aisles, and a square tower. There is a pulpit of Caen stone and very fine stained glass windows by.Clayton & Bell, James Powell & Sons, A O Hemming & Co, C E Kemp & Co, and Meyer & Co. Holy Trinity is a welcoming, friendly, open and inclusive church with a strong musical tradition and choir. Impressive carved triptych reredos. It is a part of the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway in the Scottish Episcopal Church.
The church’s architect is the famous John Loughborough Pearson (1817 1897) and Holy Trinity is the only complete example of his work in Scotland. We are committed to bringing the building back to life as a worship centre and also a cultural performance space. We are doing this in the face of the effects of climate change on our building, which was the base for Episcopalian expansion in Ayrshire during the 19th Century. A key part of our mission today is reimagining how we use this wonderful building, drawing on its past to ensure its future.
For Doors Open Days there will be a small exhibition on the history of the church, guided tours will be offered as requested, and there will be light refreshments for visitors.
