Engraved print of Holy Trinity church, Hotwells, Bristol, UK, from c.1838, looking from the south. The street scene shows five people walking along the front of the church.

The interior forms a rectangle about 85 by 60 feet (26 by 18 m) and Cockerell used Wren's method of space division based on eight structural columns. The church was completely rebuilt after being gutted during the Bristol Blitz of World War II. Nothing survives of the original cruciform, galleried interior, except the use of a shallow glazed dome.

It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.
