This rather older looking school actually dates from 1882, not Tudor times, attached as it was to the Tabernacle church beside it to the left. The architects were Paull and Bonella, with a William Smith the builder. To the right is the modern United Reformed Church. See Image] for more.

The first Tabernacle Congregational Church was built on this site in Church Street and opened in 1771. The existing building was built in 1882, a Tudor style aisled church with a tower. Constructed of ashlar under a slate roof. In 1972 the Congregational Union united with the Presbyterian Church to form the United Reformed Church. After closure in 2016, the church, adjoining Sunday school and the surrounding ancillary building were sold and are in the process of being converted into 29 dwellings.

The town developed as a centre for woollen cloth production from the 14th century, which from the 17th century became increasingly industrialized, so much so that, in 1820, Trowbridge was described as the "Manchester of the West" with over 20 woollen cloth producing factories. The Kennet and Avon Canal runs just to the north of the town and both the Wessex Main Line (Bristol–Westbury–Southampton) and the Heart of Wessex Line (Bristol–Westbury–Weymouth) railways serve the station.
