Why it's Wildland
6.1Described by its own parish as the “Cathedral of the Arts and Crafts”, Holy Trinity is known for its stained glass, sculpture and metalwork by 19th-century artists and craftspeople.
This is a distinctive church visit for its Arts and Crafts identity and concentrated collection of decorative work. It is a heritage stop in an urban setting, rather than a nature destination.
