Description Of Church


(From an article written by the Rev. R. H. Gesner and published in The Churchman of January 14, 1899).


The Church occupies a commanding position in the centre of the town and on a rise of ground which still further enhances its glorious beauty and digni- fied proportions. It is a Gothic structure of the early English period. The construction is of native granite, quarry faced, and laid in broken range work, with all belt courses, jambs and arches, laid in pressed brick, of color to conform to the cut work of Indiana limestone, which is sparingly used.


The plan consists of a nave and aisles under one span of roof, 47 feet 8 inches wide between walls, and 76 feet 6 inches in length to chancel arch, with timber posts supporting arcades and roof; transepts 31 feet wide by 10 feet projection; apsidal chancel 26 feet wide, and with choir projecting into the nave, giving total length of 36 feet for sanctuary and choir; organ chamber on south side of chancel and sacristy on the north side. The total length of the nave, choir and sanctuary is 99 feet, and the width through nave and transepts 67 feet 8 inches.


The tower, 20 feet square and 92 feet above the floor line, is on the southwest corner, forming a ves- tibuled entrance, with porch on the south side, of masonry below window sills and open timber work above; and an entrance also on the west side, the Church being placed on the corner at the crossing at principal streets. A northwest porch is also provid- ed.


94


TRINITY CENTENNIAL


At the west end of the nave is a gabled projec- tion covering the arched recess for the baptistry, which is approached by three steps, thus, with the altar at the east end, making the two great sacra- ments of the Church to be plainly set forth, and giv- ing to each its ritual position and importance.


A well-defined chancel arch separates the choir from the presbytery and sanctuary. Dormer lights on the roof supply the place of clerestory windows, and ample light and ventilation are secured.


The rapid fall of the ground to the east gives opportunity for a crypt chapel, about 46 feet wide by 34 feet in length, partly infringed upon by the foundations of walls above. This chapel is ap- proached on the level from the side street by a south porch, and connects also on the north with hallway, entered from the outside at east end, leading to up- per hall and robing rooms already mentioned.


This chapel will seat about 125 and will be used for Holy Days, Lenten, and week-night services and lectures. The cellar gives room for hot-water heating apparatus, coal, etc., and has its own entrances.


The exterior shows a well-proportioned structure and an imposing tower, which is made a useful as well as an ornamental adjunct. The tower serves as a porch, bell-chamber (large enough for a chime), and a clock chamber above, all reached by a spiral staircase in a turret on the angle of the tower, which also communicates with the tower roof, forming a distant feature of the design.


The external roofs are of slate with stone cop- ings to gables and crosses. The internal finish is of open timber work, without paint, all of Georgia pine. The wainscoting is of ash, and the pews are open


95


TRINITY CENTENNIAL


seats of quartered oak. Clergy stalls, choir stalls and chancel furniture are all of the same material. The interior furnishings are from Mr. Congdon's de- signs.


The church property occupies a large portion of the square and thus faces on three streets, giving ample room for the Church, Parish House, and the present Rectory. Orientation has been preserved, and the approaches are on the principal streets in the heart of the town. Our description will not be complete without speaking of some of the beauties within this glorious house which has been built by the free and continuous self-denial of all the par- ishioners.


The altar and reredos are most exquisite works of art. The altar bears the inscription on one end, "To the glory of God, and in loving memory of Ly- man W. Coe," and on the other end, "Erected by his wife, Eliza Coe, All Saints', 1898." It stands on a platform of dark American dove marble, with risers of pink Knoxville marble. The base of the altar is the material last named. The columns are of Mexi- can onyx and Numidian marble alternating, with marble bases and carved Caen stone capitals. The panels are of light Siena marble, the central one be- ing recessed, with the sacred monogram inlaid in Verona red marble. The upper part of the altar, entablature, cornice and "mensa," or top-slab, are of light Hautville marble, the mensa being inlaid with five crosses in Verona red marble. The reredos is of Hautville marble in the riser, which bears the text incised: "Behold, O God, our Defender, and look up- on the Face of Thine Anointed." The rest of the reredos is of Caen stone with St. Sylvester marble

TRINITY CENTENNIAL


shafts and dark Siena panels, in front of which stand statues of our Blessed Lord, St. Mary and St. John and the archangels St. Gabriel and St. Michael upon pedestals. The upper part of the reredos is richly carved and is flanked by octagon turrets at either end, with battlemented turrets and parapet connect- ing them with the central gable, surmounted by a

richly floriated cross. The altar furniture, comprising cross, candlesticks, vases and candelabra, is the gift of Mrs. Coe's children. The font harmonizes in de- sign and materials with the altar. The bowl and central shaft are of Siena marble, with four surround- ing columns of Mexican onyx, having bases and caps of Caen stone. The platform and steps are of


97


TRINITY CENTENNIAL


Tennessee marble. The whole is massive and beau- tiful. The bowl of the font bears the inscription: "And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb." Below on one of the faces are the words: "His servants shall serve Him, and they shall see His Face and His Name shall be in their foreheads." The font is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. John Workman, in memory of their daughter, Jennie Gould.


An electrical tower clock with four-foot dials was given by Mr. Elisha Turner, who, though a member of another communion, showed his good- will to the Church in this substantial manner.


Among the surprisingly large number of gifts we may mention the following: Bishop's chair and priedieu from Mrs. A. E. Workman, in memory of her father, Charles S. Church, litany desk of quartered oak with Prayer Book and kneeling rail of oak with polished brass standards from anonymous givers; triplet clergy desk from Mrs. H. L. McNeil in memory of her husband; processional cross from Mrs. Fues- senich; brass altar desk from Mrs. J. C. Linsley; a sedile for sanctuary from Mrs. E. F. Knapp; credence from Miss Spittle's Sunday-school class; Rector's stall from Miss Barker's class; Bible for lectern and altar Service Book from Miss Nellie Church; quarter- ed oak hymn-board and slides from Robert Swayze; marble-tiling and kneeling step for sanctuary from Henry J. Hendey; flag-staff for tower with necessary masonry from Frederick F. Fussenich; Church flag from Master John and Karl Barth; 400 Prayer Books and 400 Hymnals from the Brotherhood Chapter; chancel Prayer Books from Miss Ruel's class.


A tablet bearing a stone from the church in


98


TRINITY CENTENNIAL


Great Torrington, England, together with a hand- traced inscription from Iffley Church, Oxford, the lat- ter a gift of the architect, are placed in the entrance wall of the tower vestibule. The cost of the church, including gifts, is $50,000. It is one of the noblest and most inspiring Parish Churches in the country.

TRINITY CENTENNIAL


From The Senior Warden


(With this letter came a magnificent contribution of a $2,500 War Bond for the beginning of the Centennial An- niversary Fund as a thank offering from Mr. Fuessenich and his family).


Dear Mr. Hine:


Trinity Church will soon have arrived at its centennial birthday! It is a most inspiring thing to reflect that this Parish has served for one hundred years in faithful, efficient maintenance and continu- ation of Christ's Kingdom on Earth. Please accept the enclosed as my thank-offering on this happy and auspicious occasion.


Contemplation of the highly salutary history of our parish leads us to grateful memory of departed and honorable fathers, mothers, all those other rela- tives and friends who were baptized, confirmed and married in Trinity Church; and - what is possibly more precious-who, moreover, have been carried to their last resting place from its blessed portals. How long, patiently and eagerly we know they toil- ed for the Church's welfare-how well we recollect their great financial sacrifices in time of its dire need - how radiant were their faces, here, in holy de- votion to Almighty GOD. Most assuredly all these -and yet far more still-they here became refreshed and renewed with an ardent spirit again to wage life's struggle and to suffer its vicissitudes!


Where else is such regeneration to be achieved but in the Church of GOD? Prayers in the home, amidst the beauties of nature and in the solitude of night are ever indispensable; but there is no place


100


TRINITY CENTENNIAL


comparable to the hallowed House of GOD where the figure of Christ is viewed in more adequate humility, with greater hope of forgiveness, and where the mighty elements of His Body and Blood bring that essential solace of soul we all so deeply need. How more especially requisite is it in these doys of anxiety and solemn solicitude which sorely try the heart of man in its aspirations for Triumph and Victory!


Therefore, let us, for ourselves, courageously see to it that our Trinity Church is the unfailing recipient of generous purse and labor until we, too, are gathered to our fathers; let us resolutely provide that shè continue to exhibit her high tower on which we love to observe the emblems of both GOD and coun- try float on the breeze to defy the evil, to comfort the weary and to exalt the good. May we never permit her glorious structure to disintegrate in physical or spiritual aspect!


And may she proclaim her Promise of Immortal Hope into all Futurity, with that light which shineth more and more unto the Perfect Day!


Sincerely yours,


H. BLAKE FUESSENICH, Senior Warden.

Our Rector By HARRY W. KNICKERBOCKER Clerk of the Church


The Rev. Henry Francis Hine, present Rector, who came to us from historic Stratford, Connecticut, after a four-year rectorate at Christ Church, oldest parish of the oldest diocese outside the British Isles, was previously for three years curate at Trinity Church on the Green, New Haven, and Vicar of All Saints' Chapel. He was ordained in 1919 at Omaha, Nebraska, where he was for a while Vicar of St. Paul's and held chaplaincies at the Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital and the Brownell Hall School.


He was born near Canterbury, England, center of the Anglican Church, educated at the Henry Wreight and Queen Elizabeth schools, and at Lon- don University, later graduating from the General Theological Seminary of New York, the London College of Divinity, and Yale Divinity School.


At 22 it was Mr. Hine's distinction to be the youngest headmaster in England: he was for three years principal of a boys' school at Walsham-le- Willows. When later he turned to the Ministry his studies were interrupted by three years of service with the British Expeditionary Force. Entering the army as a private he gained a commission in the King's Own Scottish Borderers (the City of Edin- borough Regiment) and served in France, Italy, and Egypt.


Mr. Hine was married in 1920 to Miss Jeanette M. Bertrand of St. Joseph, Missouri, and has two


118

daughters, Mary Jean and Frances, now in college.


The Rector's supplementary interests have been music and travel. He has crossed the Atlantic tweny-three times and several times this continent. He held positions as organist and choirmaster in parish churches abroad and while at Yale was organist of Marquand Chapel. He has frequently played the organ in his own churches, and is organ- ist at the Connecticut clergy conferences.


Since coming to Torrington he has served on the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Connecti- cut, for ten years as an Examining Chaplain, and since 1927 has been a member of the Diocesan Commission on Evangelism and of the Diocesan En- dowment Committee. He was a member of the Connecticut Tercentenary Committee and more re- cently an adviser to the Church Hymnal Commis- sion on Revision.


For two years Mr. Hine was instructor in Elocu- tion and Sermon Construction at Berkeley Divinity School. He is known as an interpreter of the Gospel to modern needs and the New York Churchman has described him as an outstanding preacher. His parishioners know him as an indefatigable worker, a conscientious pastor, and desirous of further ex- tending the influence of Trinity Parish, now the 62nd in size in the country. As one who always has been ready to give unstintedly and unselfishly of his time and services in behalf of any enterprise for the gen- eral advancement and betterment of Torrington, he has played an important part in the life of the com- munity and holds a high place in the esteem and affection of his fellow-townspeople.

THE SENTENCES AND LORD'S PRAYER


The Lord hath been mindful of us, and He shall bless us; He shall bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.


O that men would therefore praise the Lord for His goodness, and declare the wonders that He doeth for the children of men.


Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the Kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as head above all.
