Holy Trinity Church, Ryde was a parish church in the Church of England located in Ryde, Isle of Wight.

History

The foundation stone was laid on 16 October 1841 in the presence of the Bishop of Winchester by Elizabeth Lydia Lind, widow of the late John Lind, M.D.[3] It was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester, Rt. Revd. Charles Sumner on 28 October 1845.[1] The church was built by the architect Thomas Hellyer[5][6] in Dover Street, and was the first parish church in Ryde.[7]

By Order in Council in 1846[8] a district was assigned to the new Church, and it was called The Chapelry District of the Holy Trinity, Ryde.

The church contains stained glass windows by James Powell and Sons and Francis Skeat.[9]

The church closed for worship in January 2014. The church now functions as a community centre and venue for local events, named "aspire".
