Holy Trinity Church is a heritage-listed Anglican building at 12 Henui Street, Fitzroy, New Plymouth, New Zealand.
The church is one of the heritage buildings registered by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 1 Historic Place located in New Plymouth. It is one of the few remaining church buildings that had their foundations in the earliest period of European settlement. The current building replaced the original Anglican chapel, which was built in the 1840s, with the foundation stone laid by Bishop George Selwyn and designed by Frederick Thatcher, a London-trained architect, and one of the first settlers arriving in New Plymouth in 1843.[2]
The current building is the result of the incorporation of the original building into various expansions. Having been altered in 1872, the church was extended in 1888 by James Sanderson, and again in 1903 by Francis Messenger. It was renovated in 1927 (also by Messenger) and then again in the 1960s.[3]
