History

The church was a Benedictine monastery founded in 1089 as Micklegate Priory, York by Ralph Paynel, and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It fronted on Micklegate, in the city of York, England. It was under the care of the Benedictine Abbey of Marmoutier. The site had previously been used for Christ Church, a house of secular canons. [3] [4] The church dates from the 12th century with additions in the 13th and 14th centuries. The tower dates from 1453. The church was remodelled after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

The south aisle was rebuilt during a restoration between 1850 and 1851 by JB and W Atkinson of York. [5] The body of the building was entirely re-pewed, and a new aisle, 10 feet (3.0 m) wide and 60 feet (18 m) was added on the south side, by opening the original arcades.

The chancel and vestry were rebuilt between 1886 and 1887 by Fisher and Hepper. [6] The chancel was rebuilt and was 38 feet (12 m) long and 23 feet (7.0 m) wide. It included a new vestry and organ chamber. [7]

The west front was reconstructed in 1902 to 1905 by Charles Hodgson Fowler.

In 1934 the church was united with St John's Church, Micklegate, York and in 1953 with St Martin-cum-Gregory, Micklegate.

Church hall

Jacob's Well is the church hall located on Trinity Lane. It is a Grade I listed medieval building. [8]

Stained glass

The church contains stained glass of national significance. Kempe, whose work features extensively, stands as one of the leading national figures in nineteenth and twentieth century decorative art.1 The church also contains windows by two of York's most significant exponents of the Gothic Revival, Barnett and Knowles. Although seemingly insignificant, the Pace/Stammers window represents the collaboration between one of Britain's most influential modern architects and one of the UK's most important twentieth-century stained glass designers.

Memorials

Organ

The pipe organ dates from 1906 and is by Norman and Beard. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register. [9]
