The mediaeval church of the Holy Trinity was demolished in the reign of William IV and re-built in 1835 from scratch on the same site, the first new church in Ipswich since the Reformation. It was completely re-designed by Frederick Harvey and then extended 60 years later by E. F. Bisshopp. Harvey designed a modest rectangular church with a small chancel at the east and the tower at the west, later to be converted for use as a baptistery. Bisshopp enlarged the chancel with a high aisle to the north, and an organ chamber and vestry was added to the south. Great semi-circular arches were added by piercing the east wall, and two similar arches formed a chancel arcade. All the wood-carving was the work of John Groom at a cost of £2000.
