JUNE 27th Market house , Chiz Harward Discover the rich history of the Church of the Holy Trinity Minchinhampton
MLHG Talk by Chiz Harward on 27 June 2025
Most of you will have seen that Chiz Harward is giving a talk at the Market House next Friday on the history of Holy Trinity. Some of you will have attended a talk on the same subject in the church and may have therefore concluded that you don’t need to attend Friday’s meeting in the Market House.
This would be a mistake as Chiz says that although some of the material will be similar to his earlier talk, there will be much additional information on the beautiful but poignant Baynham Memorial which, thanks to the efforts of MLHG members, was moved to its prominent new position in the narthex in January this year.
Since then, further research into the family, the monument and the possible sculptor, has revealed fascinating insights into early 17th Century attitudes to death, loss and memorial and while definitive answers are still hard to come by, Chiz feels that his new expanded talk will be at the very least thought-provoking!
Copies of Chiz’s book on Holy Trinity, ‘Your Church Newly Built’, (£20) will be available on the night.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Best wishes,
Gary Atkinson
