Holy Trinity Church is a former Anglican, and now Greek Orthodox, church in North Hobart, Tasmania.[1][2]
Holy Trinity has the oldest peal of bells of its type outside England.[3]
The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by James Blackburn and consecrated in 1849. Rev. Philip Palmer was its first rector.[4]
In February 2007, a property assessment report found that more than $5 million was needed to restore the church building, and that it was unrealistic for the parish to continue maintaining all its properties.[5] The following month, the parish council petitioned the Bishop of Tasmania, Rt. Rev. John Harrower, to deconsecrate the building.[6] In August the decision to close the church was communicated to the congregation, and the final service was held on 28 October 2007.[7]
The Holy Trinity Church Charitable Trust was formed in November 2007 in an effort to preserve the building.[8] The Trust asked the Anglican Church to transfer the property to them, but it was instead sold to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia. As of 2015[update], extensive repairs had started on the church.[9]
