Trowbridge Church. The Bath and District branch of the 

 Somerset Archaeological Society visited Trowbridge on May 18th and 

 certain notes on the architecture of the Church by the Rev. A. D. 

 Ryder, a former Rector, were read, and are printed in full in the 

 Wiltshire Times, May 23rd, 1914. 



Before the restoration of 1848 there was a quintuple lancet window 

 of the 13th century at the east end of the chancel, the remains of which 

 can still be seen under the stone seats in the Rectory garden. The 

 buttresses and a portion of the tower at the west end are of this period, 

 probably about 1229. Other Early English stones were found built up 

 in the walls of the existing Church in 1848. The bases of the Early 

 English columns were also then found. The great rebuilding of the 

 Church took place about 1381, and the spire is of this period, and the 

 present windows have tracery (which though restored represents the 

 original pattern) of this transition style. John of Gaunt, by his marriage 

 with Blanche, daughter of Henry Plantagenet, became possessed of the 

 Duchy of Lancaster and also of the property of the Earldom of Salisbury, 

 and so of the Manor of Trowbridge, and traditionally he is said to have 

 rebuilt the Church. The prominence of the fleur-de-lys on the spire 

 also points to this. In the restoration of 1848, under Canon Hastings, 

 all the roofs of the Church except that of the Wyke Chapel on the 

 N. side of the chancel were lowered, most of the old work was retained 

 or reproduced, but the parvise in the S. porch was destroyed, as well 

 as the E. window. The stone chimneypiece now in the vestry was 

 removed from the parvise in 1848. Suggestions as to the -significance 

 of the curious heraldic devices on it were made by Mr. Ryder.
