Holy Trinity Church stands on a sloping site immediately behind the Royal Yacht Squadron, strikingly visible from the sea, and its tiered gardens give good views over the Solent. It is built of distinctive Isle of Wight yellow brick in the Gothic Style. The Church was consecrated in 1832 as "a place of worship on Cowes foreshore for sailors and seafarers" and it very soon gained a Royal and yachting patronage which has continued from Queen Victoria to the present day.
