\"\"Holy Trinity, Monifieth, is one of the newer churches in the Diocese of Brechin, with a centenary celebrated in 2009.<\/p>\n

Holy Trinity was first constituted as a Mission congregation of the diocese of Brechin in 1903.<\/p>\n

Before that, however, groups of Episcopalians had been meeting in their homes as house churches both in Monifieth itself and in the neighbouring villages such as Monikie and Newbigging.<\/p>\n

In 1903, a permanent place of worship was sought, and the groups initially came together to worship in the dining hall of the Low and Duff foundry and later the Salvation Army mission hall.<\/p>\n

Dedicated in 1909, the current church was designed by Mills and Shepherd and took eighteen months to build.<\/p>\n

The building is of brick harled on the outside and treated with half-timber and bulwarks.<\/p>\n

\"\"The nave, chancel and porch are roofed with rich rosemary red tiles, within which is an open shafted roof. The chancel is divided from the main church by a rood screen.<\/p>\n

The church hall was acquired during the early 1940s from an estate near the House of Dun<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

It was originally used during World War I as an army canteen.\u00a0 It was moved and re-erected on a site north of the church building.<\/p>\n
