Hot? TRINITY CRUM it is well known to
our readers that a need for more accommodation
than is provided for Holy Trinity parish by the
existing church has been very generally felt for •
long time by the parishioners, but the question how
it may be .best provided, even core than the
matter of funds being forthcoming to carry oat a
well-devised scheme, has militated thus far against
the want being compassed. Earnest mind., however,
have given attention to the subject, and we believe
the prevailing opinion tics, ii. that any adequate
enlargement of the present structure would involve
an outlay quite incompatible with the result attain-
able, and that the wiser plan will he to rebuild the
church, which trill afford an opportunity of so mo-
delling the ground plan as to improve the position of
the edifice in relation to the street line, while, of
course, in place of the " Churchwarden Gothic" of
the existing building, with the cumbrous galleries,
bad ventilation, and imperfect lighting of its inte-
rior, • church may be built which, in an architec-
tural point of view, shall be worthy of the chief parish
in the county town of Dorset, while at the same
time it would be commodious in every resoect, and
aflord the increased accommodation required. We
believe that a suitable ground-plan has been prepared
by an eminent local architect, which would give
something like 4011 sittings more than three con-
tained in the present church, and that if the work
be heartily taken up by the parish, the Rector
would be induced to commence the undertaking
speedily, and, seeing, in all parte of the eounty and
throughout the diocese of Sarum, the many impor-
tant works of church building and church restoration
which have been carried to • successful issue by
lesser and poorer communities, we cannot believe that
Dorchester will hesitate to enter upon a° necessary
and noble am enterprise. Preliminary difficulties in
arranging the site might possibly arise, but we feel
sure that • generous spirit would be manifested by
those interested, and that thus they would be over-
come to the satisfaction of all partite. We trust
that ere long we may have the pleasure of laying
before our readers details of the project we have in-
dicated, and meanwhile, we feel sure that the
Rector would be much encouraged in the work by
receiving additional promises of assistance in
furtherance of the same.
