Seen across the car park from North Place is the former church of the Holy Trinity in Portland Street, now known simply as Trinity. Built in 1823 as a chapel of ease, it later became a parish church, and is now an evangelical, Anglican church. There were alterations and additions in 1878 and circa 1907 and the interior was reordered in 1997. Constructed of limestone ashlar on a sandstone plinth with a Welsh slate roof. Listed, grade II*, with details at: LinkExternal link
Cheltenham is located at the foot of the Cotswold scarp with the small River Chelt flowing through the town. After the discovery of mineral springs in 1716 Cheltenham became a spa town and many Regency houses and other buildings were erected. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, four days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at the nearby racecourse.
