The original building was designed in the Early English style by James Cranston of Oxford in 1844 and was completed in 1869. That building was destroyed by fire in 1884. Scottish architect William Hay, who had been consulted on the construction of the first building in 1848-1849 and again in 1862, was hired to design the current structure in 1885 in the Gothic Revival style.

While Hay designed most of the structure, his partner George Henderson designed the eastern portion of the cathedral. Built between 1886-1905, to serve the state church, the structure was primarily built from Bermuda limestone with the exception of several decorative features made from carved Caen stone that were brought in from Normandy, France. You can see magnificent tinted glass windows, arches, warrior chapel and carved altar screens. Perhaps the most dramatic area in the church is the wall behind the alter, where there are sculptures depicting Christ and many saints.

The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity is one of two cathedrals in Bermuda, the other being the Roman Catholic St. Theresa's, also in Hamilton. Composer S. Drummond Wolff was organist at the cathedral from 1959-1962. Admission to the Cathedral is free. It is open from 8a.m to 5p.m. daily. There are daily services held in the church and visitors are welcome. For a small fee, visitors to the cathedral can climb the tower for a view of Hamilton and its harbour. The tower is open from Monday through Friday between 10a.m to 3:30pm.

Bermuda is the only place in the world where Bermuda shorts worn with knee-length socks is the national dress code for men, including priests. (see our pictures)
