The Holy Trinity Church, Eastbourne, is an Anglican Early English-style place of worship in Eastbourne in the English county of East Sussex.
Structure and history edit
It was designed by Decimus Burton and opened in 1839 as a Chapel of ease for St Mary the Virgin. Aisles and the east end of the chancel were added in 1855 and 1861 respectively. It became a parish church in 1847.[1][2][3] The Reverend Thomas Henry Sparshott married his second wife in this church, in 1890.[4][nb 1]
It is a conservative evangelical parish that has passed a resolution to reject the ordination and/or leadership of women, and it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Ebbsfleet (currently Rob Munro).[5][6]
