Background
History
Holy Trinity Church (also known as the Holy Trinity Parish Church or "town kirk") is the most historic church in St Andrews. The church was initially built on land close to the south-east gable of the cathedral, around 1144 by Bishop Robert Kennedy. Much of the architecture feature of the church was lost in the re-building by Robert Balfour between 1798 and 1800. The church was later restored to a (more elaborately decorated) approximation of its medieval appearance between 1907 and 1909 by MacGregor Chalmers. Only the north-western tower and spire with parts of the arcade arches were retained.
