Trinity Church in Uptown Saint John is a perfect example of early English Gothic style, typified by the architecture of early New Brunswick. The Great Fire of Saint John in 1877 destroyed the original church, and building on the current church swiftly began in 1879.
The church is 150 feet in length. The chancel is forty feet deep and thirty-three feet wide. The nave is 62 feet wide overall, and 110 feet long with an expansive height of 64 feet. The bell tower and steeple rise to the majestic height of 210 feet and is topped by a weathervane in the form of a six foot long wood gilt fish.
The tower contains a clock and a ring of nine bells, a gift installed in 1882 by the City of Saint John.
