Church of the Holy Trinity, Trinity Road/North Quay, Weymouth
Grade II Anglican parish church of 1834, extended and reoriented 1887. Revd George Chamberline, Rector of Wyke Regis, offered to build a new church for Weymouth at his own expense. The White Hart public house was demolished and in 1834 construction of the new church was started to a design by Philip Wyatt and completed after his death by his nephew Mathew Wyatt. The large crypt that resulted from the sloping site was used for burials until the 1862 Burial Act. The building was consecrated on 6 August 1836 by the Bishop of Winchester. By 1885 the then vicar, Francis Sowter, realising the church was becoming too small suggested a new church be built or the existing one extended. The result in the following year was that the church was to be extended and reoriented to the designs of G R Crickmay. The revised church was opened on 12 April 1887.
