Holy Trinity - Dover Street - Sittingbourne, Kent - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

A large church built in 1866 by architects Richard Charles Hussey (Nave and Aisles) and Joseph Clark (Nave). The latter was added at a later date. It is built of Kentish Rag and Bath Stone and initially used as a fund raising venue and school and was not consecrated until 1873.

The Tower is situated at the South side of the Chancel and has three floors: ground, Vicar's Vestry; first, Organ Gallery; second, Belfry with a single bell.

The pews have been removed fron the west end and is now a 'social' area with a small kitchen in the south west corner.

The former Choir Vestry is in the NW corner opposite the entrance porch, and is now used as a lounge and meeting room.

The organ was built for the church in 1894 by Henry 'Father' Willis (visit link) , possibly the most famous of all English organ builders, who built the two largest instruments in the UK, namely those at The Royal Albert Hall and Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
