Place Names of Calne: Holy Trinity, Trinity Park and Church View


























Both the church and school of Holy Trinity were built in 1867, with the church being Grade II listed, and is the resting place for many of Calne's residents, such as Canon Duncan of St. Mary's, since St. Mary's churchyard closed[1][2].

Holy Trinity refers to the Christian doctrine that while there is one God, there are three divine representations, referred to as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


Trinity Park was developed in the 1970s-1980s and comprises primarily of detatched housing, with some terraced near the end of the street. The housing is either block or brick with some having interesting wooden bays on the first floor.

Church View

Church View was built in 2006[3] by Colburn Homes on land that is inbetween Trinity Park and Tudor House. This land was previously a site for warehouses.

I've included Church View in this post as being opposite Holy Trinity, it must have been named for this church!
