Developed as a church in 1840 by the architect Thomas Hellyer, the building was formally called Holy Trinity, and was the first parish church in Ryde. The building has a rich Christian heritage with great architecture and contains impressive stained glass windows that were produced by James Powell and Sons as well as Francis Skeat. A community group took ownership of the site and renovations quickly took place, with volunteers doing the majority of the work. They now see well in excess of 1000 people walk through the doors every week for various groups and activities. The building now functions as a community centre and venue for local events, and is now well established as Aspire Ryde. Click here for our calendar of events
