The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity replaces the original structure designed James Cranston that was destroyed by fire in 1884. On 1885, architect William Hay was chosen to design the current Gothic Revival structure. He partnered with George Henderson who then designed the eastern portion of the church.
The church was constructed 1886 and 1905 from Bermuda limestone and trimmed with stone from Caen, France. Since Bermuda is an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom it is the state church of England in Bermuda. Anglican Church of Bermuda is an diocese under the Archbishop of Canterbury. Nicholas Dill has been the Bishop of Bermuda since 2013.
A bell which appears to be from the original church is on display outside the Cathedral. It is house in a covered shelter with steps leading up to a platform that holds the bell which is hung within a wooden frame and attached to a wheel. The bell is old and the inscription is quite worn. However you can make out that it was manufactured in Troy, N.Y. in 1853.
