The public can give their views on the future of Holy Trinity Church in Trowbridge on Saturday as part of the Heritage Open Days weekend.

The church is to become a ‘chapel of ease’ after a decision was made to merge it with Wesley Road Methodist Church.

Church leaders are hoping it will be developed for alternative uses such as Christian youth work, concerts and large events.

The public can give their thoughts and views as part of the open day on Saturday, from 10am to 1.30pm.
