    <title>An update, from the roof of Trinity</title>
    <link>https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation/news/an-update-from-the-roof-of-trinity</link>
    <description>We sent our marketing officer up to to the roof to meet the skilled workers fixing up Trinity</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<style type="text/css"></style>
<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation/news/Jimandcramps.jpg" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<p><span class="discreet">Stonemason Jim shows us the new stoneworks, replacing the damaged stone caused by corroded iron</span></p>
<p>“When they built this building, they just never expected it to last nearly 200 years” says Jim, who has been a stonemason for 10 years. He is using traditional skills to hand carve new stonework – mainly to replace rusted metal cramps and critically damaged stonework.</p>
<p>I am being taken on a tour of the building site by Shane, Trinity’s man for all things facilities. I am grateful for my hard hat as there is a <i>lot </i>of climbing the scaffolding. We climb right to the top and look to the farthest corner of the roof and see the pinnacle that Jim restored by hand.</p>
<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation/news/Jimsfixing.JPG" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<style type="text/css"></style>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; letter-spacing: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; "><span class="discreet">The hand carved stonework is visible on the furthest pinnacle</span></p>
<p>As we go up hard not to notice the stained glass windows, many are buckled and bowed; a few put in upside down (possibly in the 1980’s restoration work); some cracked and others in a need of a deep clean.</p>
<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation/news/windowdamage.JPG" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<p><span class="discreet">The windows in the Graffiti Room are mid repair.<br /></span></p>
<p><span class="discreet"><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation/news/boxingglove.JPG" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></span></p>
<p><span class="discreet">A boxing glove lost around the 80's is one of the many items found behind the windows come time capsules</span></p>
<p>Kerry, resident stained glass window expert, is carefully removing broken glass from a window on the north side of Trinity. By eye he manually cuts out a shape from some glass he has and skilfully places the glass between the lead, seals it and moves onto the next piece. He stands back and on the left is a window yet to do, and on the right is a window that is done. The contrast is quiet impressive.</p>
<p>Shane and I walk past an antenna that is attached to one of the towers (an echo back to the days when Trinity was host to its <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/projects/code/mediatech/internet-radio" class="external-link">own community radio station</a>) and head towards the West side of Trinity. Jim and his team have been busy up here, and you can see the repairs to the stoneworks, cracks that have been filled and hand carved stone replacing some of the most critically damaged stone.</p>
<p>I slowly edge towards the edge of the scaffolding and can see Old Market and further beyond, is central Bristol.  It is a marvellous view, if not incredibly high. Going down is much easier than going up. Shane and I clamber down the ladders, past the stonemasons, the glaziers and site workers. I am grateful for my feet being back on the ground.</p>
<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation/news/uphighonthetowers.JPG" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<p><span class="discreet">Walking to the edge of the scaffolding was really rather scary. But Bristol looked great</span></p>
<p>Back in January, with the scaffolding up, experts where able to do a full investigation that revealed the extensive critical historic damage to Trinity.  These unexpected costs meant we launched our fundraising campaign to help us raise the much needed funds to undertake the <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation" class="internal-link">critical repairs</a> and have been overwhelmed by the support from funders and the public.</p>
<p>With only a few months left until the scaffolding comes down we need help to raise the much needed funds to undertake the critical repairs to Trinity. The public can help secure Trinity's past, present and future by donating directly to the campaign <a class="external-link" href="http://my.3ca.org.uk/donate">here.</a></p>
<p>What is clear is the commitment by the public, by us, by the craftsmen, the site workers,  supporters and  communities to renovating the Trinity Centre, ensuring that Trinity’s doors stay open for ours and for future generations.</p>

    <description>Read about A Waltz Down Memory Lane – an afternoon of dancing, cakes, good company and memory sharing</description>

<p><span class="discreet">Many people attending the dance had connections with Trinity and Old Market</span><br /><br />On Friday 20th April we opened up Trinity’s doors for "A Waltz Down Memory Lane" – an afternoon of dancing, cakes, memory sharing and good company.<br /><br />Over 40 people came – amongst them many regulars from Gentle Dance, a weekly dance session for people over 55 at Trinity.  It was a great to see that many people who came had a connection with Trinity or the Old Market area.</p>
<p><br /><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/news/SocialDancenewsitem600x400_4.jpg" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<p><span class="discreet">Throughout the afternoon many, if not everyone, took their turn on the dance floor</span></p>
<p>A lovely time was had by all –  Dr Edson Burton was in attendance and spoke to many people at the dance about their memories of Old Market and Trinity.  Mark - who has lived around the area for half his life, shared his earliest memory – of bombing and fires and shared with Edson how he remembers using horses as transport!<br /><br />We loved the many memories of major life events.  From Tony and Val’s memories of their first date in Old Market to Lynda sharing how her grandparents were married at Trinity.  Marilyn shared with us her memories of attending mass at Trinity, getting married here and also having her children Christened here.</p>
<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/news/SocialDancenewsitem600x400_2.jpg" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<p><span class="discreet">Local band - Norma's Groovers entertained guests throughout the event</span></p>
<p>It was an absolutely lush afternoon and we are certainly excited about the next <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/whats-on/a-waltz-down-memory-lane-2" class="external-link">Waltz Down Memory Lane on Friday 8th June</a>.  The event is open to anyone over 55 who likes to socialise, dance, meet new people and would like to share their memories of Trinity and Old Market. No need to book, just turn up!<br /><br /><i>A Waltz to Down Memory Lane</i> is part of  Heart &amp; Soul: celebrating major life events at Trinity Bristol. Throughout 2018 there will workshops, talks and heritage activities for all ages. The project runs along side our most recent capital works and has been made possible with the help of these funders.</p>

<p>Our <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage" class="internal-link">Heart &amp; Soul</a> project celebrated people's major life events at Trinity and ran alongside our <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/conservation" class="internal-link">current building conservation works.</a> As part of the project we wanted to explore further the challenges and achievements of transforming and preserving historic buildings. The project included a series of talks, inviting both national and international speakers to share their knowledge and experience on the positives and pitfalls of re-imaging historic buildings.</p>
<p>Speaking from an architecture perspective about how a space can be adapted to better serve the community, Trinity Trustee and UWE Senior Lecturer Fidel Meraz delivered the first talk of this programme, and talked about buildings around the world where the function has changed over time, Feb 27 2018...</p>
<blockquote class="pullquote"><span class="discreet">Most churches were originally built to hold a service once a week - by giving them a second life, the building accommodates for a far larger audience.</span></blockquote>
<p>What was really compelling about Fidel’s talk was that he spoke in metaphors of the human life, about the way buildings are born as beautiful and well attended sacred buildings, then decline over time until finally they are not active. He used the example that when an elderly person struggles to walk, we give them crutches, and this is also the way he likes elderly buildings to be treated.</p>
<p>An interesting point was made that most churches were originally  built to hold a service once a week, therefore in some cases by giving  them a second life, the building accommodates for a far larger audience.</p>
<p>When we approach a church we have a predetermined view of what will be inside, Meraz explained, so it is exciting to be surprised by what we find.  In  Asturias, Spain, the Santa Barbara Church was abandoned and crumbling until the community took action. They raised money and with sponsorship from Red Bull too, it was converted into a vibrantly colourful indoor skate park.</p>
<p>Through time the architectural intention has changed from a place of worship to a space of activity, but the purpose of the building as a space to serve the community remains.  He compared the Santa Barbara Church with the Trinity Centre because in both cases what you find on the inside is unexpected and fun.</p>

<blockquote class="pullquote"><span class="discreet">From Fidel’s talk I learned that the world is full amazing ideas of how to reuse spaces. Tess Sieling, project intern</span></blockquote>
<p>After the talk, Edson Burton invited a discussion between the audience and Meraz, in which the future of the Trinity Centre, Old Market and Bristol were spoken about. Concerns were voiced about the gentrification of Old Market area, which highlights the role the Trinity Centre plays in serving communities.</p>
<p>There is a sense that it is now in a crucial era where the Trinity Centre’s responsibility is to remain accessible to all communities without judgement and, from, Fidel’s talk I learned that the world is full amazing ideas of how to reuse spaces.</p>
<p>This write up was by Tess Sieling, who was the project intern on the <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage" class="internal-link">Heart &amp; Soul </a>heritage project. The talk was part of a series exploring the challenges and achievements of transforming and preserving historic buildings and was programmed in collaboration with Bristol's Architecture Centre and the University of West England (UWE).</p>

    <description>Trinity volunteer Lowie caught up with construction intern Davontay </description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/news/DavontayNewsitem600x400.jpg" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<div class="visualClear"><span class="discreet">Davontay, hard at work - image credit @ Khali Photography</span></div>
<p><a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage" class="internal-link">Heart &amp; Soul </a>project volunteer Lowie Trevena works part time with the Scouts, but  wanted to get more involved in the  community in their spare time, and learn about the heritage and  community surrounding such an important building. We got them to catch up with Davontay Benjamin, one of two intern’s on Trinity’s <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/renovation" class="external-link">heritage and conservation</a> project to find out more about what he is up to.</p>
<p>The internships were created to offer professional skills, experience  and opportunity to young people from Bristol who may not have otherwise  had access to employment or training. Through his internship, Davontay  is gaining hands on training to learn the fundamental aspects of  conservation work.</p>
<style type="text/css"></style>
<p><strong>How did you find out about the internship and why did you apply? </strong></p>
<p>I found out from my mother Natahsa Benjamin who runs Hype Dance, a weekly street dance classes for young people. Karina Castro, Projects Manager at Trinity told her about the internship because she knows I do construction at college.</p>
<p><strong>Is there more to the internship than just making tea and coffee for everyone in the office? What is the best thing you’ve done so far?</strong></p>
<p>Yes! The best thing so far has been learning how to do stone work and learning about the history of the building. I've found out a lot about how the building was orginally built - and lots about the bands that and the musians and bands that have played here.</p>
<p><strong>What are you looking forward to during the rest of the internship?</strong></p>
<p>Learning to fit windows because it will help me in the future.</p>
<p><strong>What new skills have you learned? </strong></p>
<p>All about different cement mixes and tools you have to use.</p>
<p><strong>Lastly, would you recommend an internship at Trinity to other young people in Bristol? </strong></p>
<p>Yes!</p>
<p>The two internships run alongside the final major-works phase relating to the repair and conservation of the historic fabric of the Trinity. With full scaffolding in place unforeseen historic damage to the building was uncovered; the stained glass windows were found to be no longer watertight, and the metal cramps, holding the historic Bath Stone in place, were found to be critically corroded, leading to an <strong>additional £200,000 of costs. </strong></p>

    <title>Gig goer? Maia wants your stories!</title>
    <link>https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/news/gig-goers-maia-wants-your-stories</link>
    <description>Heart &amp; Soul volunteer Maia is collecting stories from young gig goers</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/news/maia.jpg" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<p>Lowie Trevena volunteers on our Heart &amp; Soul project and while she is not helping out on the project she works for the Girl Guides. We asked her to chat to Maia, who is currently studying creative arts therapy at college and is at Trinity for a placement as part of her course.</p>
<p>As part of our Heart &amp; Soul project we are collecting images, stories and archive material and Maia is going to be collecting stories from young people (18 - 30).</p>
<p><strong>Hi Maia, what do you know about Trinity and have you been here before? </strong></p>
<p>Trinity is a venue that does lots of music events, I have been here a Thali wedding in 2015 and Benjamin Zeph, who was really good.</p>
<p><strong>Tell us more about Benjamin Zeph!</strong></p>
<p>My mate got me a ticket and when I got to the Trinity Centre, half my family and friends were already here. It was fun; there was a great energy and I really enjoyed the spoken word. It was powerful, inspiring and I like to write poetry myself, so it was great. There was a mixed crowd, older and younger. It felt like my community was there; I’m from St Paul’s and I’m Bristol born and raised.</p>
<p><strong>How old are you? </strong></p>
<p>26, I’m going to be 27 soon.</p>
<p><strong>Tell us a bit more about yourself </strong></p>
<p>I write poetry, I draw, and I like read: the last book I read was the House of Games by Chris Johnston but my favourite book is How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. I like punk, drum and bass and rock music. After finishing school, I did a diploma in Media and I really enjoyed the course, so I then did a two-year Media and Moving Image course, and since then I have been making short films for different organisations.</p>
<p><strong>What are you currently studying? </strong>I am studying a degree in creative art therapy, so I’m doing lots of drama, dance and working with children in mental health - it is the use of creative arts in a positive and therapeutic way. I chose it as I have always been a creative person. My house mate suggested this evening course which was a taster of the course I do now and I enjoyed it so much that I gave up my full time job in a coffee shop and started studying. That job felt like groundhog day!</p>
<p><strong>What is important to you?</strong></p>
<p>In myself, I am confident and happy, and I want to use my own abilities to help other people to be free, and in the future I want a job where every day is different. It is important to be happy confident and respectful and to work in cohesion with other people. I love being part of a team and being able to get involved and meet new people.</p>
<p><strong>Why did you choose to volunteer at Trinity?</strong></p>
<p>I started off as I have to do a placement to help support a project that is running as part of my course. I went to a networking event at a hotel in Redcliffe and I met a lady called Sally from Macmillan Cancer, and she put me in touch with Karina [Castro, Projects Manager at Trinity] and then it went from there.</p>
<p><strong>Who do you want to interview?</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>I am looking to reach out to young people from 18 - 30 to ask them questions such as  what their your favourite club night is, their best gig and why people like coming to Trinity.  I’ll be asking people to be on camera and I’ll be going to lots of gigs and events to speak to people.</p>
<p><i>If you would like to share your memories of Trinity     or speak to Maia, email: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lowie@3ca.org.uk">tess@3ca.org.uk</a> or call Trinity 0117 9351200 to speak to a     member of the Heritage team.</i></p>

    <description>A busy weekend of activities at Trinity for the start of the Clay, woodcarving, textiles and stained glass workshops</description>

<p>From tapestry to pews, to the ornate floor and ceiling tiles - woodcarving, clay, textiles and stained glass all highly featured both inside and outside the Holy Trinity Church (now the Trinity Centre) when it opened in 1832. Whilst many of these features are no longer with us, you can still see the remains of the artisan crafted features if you look up in the Fyfe Hall or, walk past the beautiful stained glass windows.  As part of our <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage" class="internal-link">Heart &amp; Soul</a> project, we want to give residents the opportunity to find out more about the heritage of Trinity, through learning the traditional crafts and skills used in building the centre.</p>
<blockquote class="pullquote">“Loved it! Best way to spend a Saturday hands-down. Learning new skills, meeting new people – fab!!”</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Our first block of workshops started on Saturday 10 Feb, delivered by stained glass artist Liz Barton, ceramicist Joanna Espiner, textile artist Ruth Ramsey and woodcarver Daniel Bendel.   They will be working with participants, across two blocks of workshops, to create collaborative artwork to display across Trinity.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">In these initial workshops participants explored Trinity’s features, looking at how the crafts were originally used across the building. Using this as inspiration, participants spent the morning designing their artwork and the afternoon learning the basics of the traditional crafts.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Missed out on these workshops? Our second block of workshops starts in April, <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage" class="internal-link"><span class="internal-link">sign up here!</span></a> Please note we have limited spaces and that you will need to complete all sessions (this are not taster workshops).</p>

<p><i>New intern Davontay Benjamin checks out the damage to the stone with specialists.</i></p>
<p>Last October, work commenced a 11 month project to undertake vital repairs to the building's fabric and structure.</p>
<p>Enabled through the help of Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic England, Allchurches Trust and 13 other funders, as well as generous donations from members of the public, works began on the lead-roof, original stained glass windows and stonework structure, including the iconic Georgian towers.</p>
<p>With full scaffolding in place, specialists have been able to undertake a more comprehensive metalwork survey. Investigations to metal cramps that hold the stonework in place, reveal the damage to the building is far worse than anticipated.</p>
<p>If we don't do these works now, Trinity will be placed back onto Historic England's At - Risk Register. In real terms this means we are going to have to raise an additional estimated £200k<strong> other wise Trinity will be at risk of closure- and we need your help to do that. </strong></p>
<h1>How you can help</h1>
<p>Trinity is and has always been a central part of the community. Our mission it to keep it that way and protect the building's future and to ensure that Trinity’s doors stay open.</p>
<p>A donation, however big or small, will help us to bridge the gap and ensure we are able to complete these important repairs.</p>

    <link>https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/news/be-part-of-heart-soul-our-2018-heritage-project</link>
    <description>This January 2018 we launch "Heart &amp; Soul", a year long celebration of Trinity's heritage to run alongside our capital repairs</description>
    <content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/news/Trinity_HS_600x400px.jpg" alt="" class="image-inline" title="" /></p>
<p>As you may know (by the sheer amount of scaffolding) we recently secured funding from Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic England, All Churches Trust and 14 other funders, to undertake essential works to the The Trinity Centre, a Grade II* listed building.  Alongside the essential building works we are also launching the  heritage project<i> ‘Heart &amp; Soul: Celebrating major life events at Trinity Bristol’</i>. Alongside activities we will be collecting images, archive footage and stories from people who have had big life events here.</p>
<blockquote class="pullquote">From the christenings, when the building was a church, to a first birthday party, there are hundreds of stories out there from all the communities who live around and use Trinity.</blockquote>
<p>Local artisans specialising in clay, woodcarving, stained glass and textiles will deliver a series of workshops in the traditional craft skills used in the initial 1800’s building of the centre.Everyone is welcome to take part but older people, members of Bristol's BME communities and residents of BS5 &amp; BS2 are particularly welcomed.</p>
<p>We will also be welcoming national speakers to a series of accessible evening talks, devised in partnership with Bristol's Architecture Centre &amp; the University of the West of England (UWE). Looking at the challenges and achievements of reusing historic buildings speakers include <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/activities/past-projects/heritage/whats-on/previous-events/tim-rolands-talk" class="internal-link">Tim Ronalds</a>, who brings a unique perspective on transforming some of the Britain's most iconic buildings, like Wiltons Music Hall, The Hackney Empire &amp; Jackson's Lane.</p>
<p>We have a programme of activities to suit a range of ages, including a podcast project in partnership with local schools, history quests for children and families and a series of guided heritage walks.  For the young at heart we have two memory dances – a morning of dancing and delicious cakes. Hosted by Dr Edson Burton, participants we will be encouraged to share their stories and memories of Trinity.  As with all our heritage projects we will be collecting stories from residents, community members and all those who have a story to share about celebration at Trinity. In October the stories, images and archive material will be exhibited at Trinity at our end of project celebration event.</p>
<p>There are also <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/get-involved/volunteer/heart-soul-project-volunteers" class="internal-link">volunteer roles</a> for those who wish to gain skills or have an interest in heritage, as well as a part-time <a href="https://ldap2.3ca.org.uk/about/job-vacancies/old-vacancies/heart-soul-internship" class="internal-link">Project Assistant Internship</a> (24 week, entry-level career development)to help us deliver this programme.</p>
