Holy Trinity, St Philip's
Now an arts centre, Holy Trinity is a Late Georgian Commissioners' gothic essay by Thomas Rickman, the man whose terminology to define the gothic is still in use today. 'Characteristically Perpendicular' says Pevsner, to emphasise that point. Built in Bath stone at a huge cost of £ 8,231 and completed in 1832, 5 years before Victoria came to the throne.

Clarence Road telephone exchange
