Trinity Presbyterian Church, Swindon, Wiltshire, England



The former Trinity Presbyterian (URC) church stands on the corner of Victoria Road and Groundwell Road near the town centre of Swindon.  During the 1980s the congregation joined four other churches to become  Central Church  - and in 1990 that combined congregation moved to The Pilgrim Centre.  We are grateful to Central Church for allowing us to use some of their archived photographs.

After the congregation left, the building - re-named Trinity Hall by it's new users - became home to a nursery group called Toad Hall Day Nursery but this closed in 2013 and it opened again as the Trinity Day Nursery.  At time of writing this (March 2017) we are unsure if it is still open as we cannot find a website for it and although it has a Facebook page there have been no new posts since November 2015.  We shall have to go there and see what's happened!

The building was renovated during 2015 and we have a few photographs at the end of this page of this plus a few duplicates showing before and after.

This building holds many memories for us - it is where we met and married, where our daughter was baptised, and the place of many family occasions (christenings, marriages and funerals).
