Trinity's Heritage

2023 will be the year of the clocktower! In a few months’ time, visitors will be able to climb our spiral staircase to the top of the tower. From there you can take in the magnificent views of the town and surrounding landscapes Discover Trinity’s history, from our very beginning, as Tunbridge Wells’ first parish church, right through to the 1970s when the vision and hard work of local heroes saved the building from demolition and turned Trinity into the theatre it is today Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:

Twentieth Century Trinity

this century saw Trinity prosper at the centre of its community as ‘the spiritual heart of Tunbridge Wells’.

5.

Georgian Beginnings

In 1825, the local great and good came together to found a parish church. But why did the town need one? Who was Decimus Burton, and why is his architecture so special to Tunbridge Wells? Also, have a look at the amazing view from the top of Decimus’ tower!

Decline Of The Church

The second half of the twentieth century truly saw Trinity in peril But some parishioners still stayed loyal, such as John and Diane, who began the journey of their lives together as Trinity ended its own as a church

A Theatre Is Born

We know the 20th century brought doom and gloom for Trinity but all was not lost The curtain closed on a church, but opened on a theatre and arts centre. Find out about our journey, from the fight to save the building to our first ever season of performances in 1982…and beyond!
