The "Great War Memorial Window" (designed by the Vicar's brother in 1920) The ancient seals of Holy Trinity Priory (which used to be where Christchurch Mansion is now built) HT 175  Described on an independent website as a "Church that squats like a dirty seagull about to take off" this then goes on to say "the interior of the Church is one of Ipswich's best kept secrets; it is fabulous and of outstanding interest, because there is simply nothing else like it anywhere. The East Window is remarkable with an idiosyncrasy of its own - there's nothing quite like it!" 2009 was very much a "year of preparation" with a substantial amount of work being carried out - mainly from grants and generous donations - which included; new disabled toilets, refurbishment of the kitchen, the children's room, the vestry and the removal of 4 rows of pews and subsequent creation of a new children's area and coffee area. The installation of a new PA system, repairs to stained glass windows (including the ancient Seals of Holy Trinity Priory). Currently new safety rails are being fitted to go around the balcony and a date booked for the total refurbishment of the ladies toilets. 2010 is now the year to celebrate 175 years of the Church being in the community with the intention of encouraging as many of the community as possible to be aware of the church through planned special events, visits by schools and encouragement to come along on a Sunday Special HT 175 Events for 2010  (Download the special leaflet here) 1st Saturday of Every Month - Coffee & Cakes 1st Sunday of Every Month - Family Service Saturday February 27th - "The View From Here" 7pm - Admission Free Saturday April 3rd - Coffee & Cakes with Children's Easter Egg Hunt April 24th - "St George's Day Concert" with Pomp and Circumstance No.1 March, Selection from Phantom of the Opera, Band of Roses March and much, much more! with the Suffolk Concert Band (with a St George's Day Bangers n Mash Supper) 7pm Sunday May 30th - Trinity Sunday Celebration Service @ 11am Saturday 11th Sept @ 7pm - THE FIRST FIFTY: Holy Trinity Parish & Community in the 19th Century with Frank Grace (author of "Rags and Bones" book about local social economic history of the Ipswich Docks / Waterfront) With Cheese & Wine.
