Summary

Description
English: Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, near to Marylebone, Westminster, Great Britain.

Holy Trinity Church Marylebone, Westminster, London is a former Anglican church, built in 1828 by Sir John Soane. In 1818 parliament passed an act setting aside one million pounds to celebrate the defeat of Napoleon. This is one of the so-called "Waterloo churches" that were built with the money. It has an external pulpit facing onto Marylebone Road, and an entrance resembling the acropolis. There is a lantern steeple, similar to St Pancras New Church.

By the 1930s it had fallen into disuse and in 1936 was used by the newly-founded Penguin Books company to store books. A children's slide was used to deliver books from the street into the large crypt. In 1937 they moved out to Harmondsworth and SPCK moved in. It was their headquarters until 2006. Grade II listed. <a title="http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Holy_Trinity_Church_Marylebone" rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Holy_Trinity_Church_Marylebone">Link</a><img style="padding-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/> and <a title="http://www.bwcp.co.uk/HTML/current-Holy%20Trinity.htm" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bwcp.co.uk/HTML/current-Holy%20Trinity.htm">Link</a><img style="padding-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/>
