- Holy Trinity Church in Tunbridge Wells was built in 1827-1829 in the Gothic Revival style to a design by Decimus Burton. The design of the church was part of a larger plan for the design of the city center. The church was dedicated on September 3, 1829. In 1883 Walker & Sons built a three-manual organ for the church. The instrument was renovated in 1924 by Rushworth & Dreaper.
- Due to declining church attendance, the church was closed in 1972. There were plans for demolition. But the building was saved and was converted into a theater under the name Trinity Theater and Arts Center. It opened in 1982. The Walker organ was dismantled and sold. Much pipework was used in the rebuilding of the organ at Saint Mary's Church in Bridport, Dorset.
