Holy Trinity Gough Square [The nearest modern technology can pinpoint the exact spot is Postcode EC4A 3BA and British national grid reference system TQ313812.] was a Victorian parish church in the City of London built in response to St Bride, Fleet Street’s need [ "Church of England, Parish of St Bride Fleet Street. - Minutes of committee for building a new church, Holy Trinity Gough Square, w, 1836. - q9810396" cited in “City of London Parish Registers Guide 4” Hallows,A.(Ed): London, Guildhall Library Research, 1974 ISBN 0900422300] for a sister church to serve its growing population“Vanished churches of the City of London” Huelin, G.: London, Guildhall Library Publishing 1996ISBN 0900422424] . Situated in "Pemberton Row" [ [http://booth.lse.ac.uk/cgi-bin/do.pl?sub=view_booth_only&args=531495,181098,2,large,1 Map of locality] ] the social reformer Charles Booth noted it served the area’s poorer citizens [ B246 Notebook: Church of England District 1 (The City)Published in 3rd series - Religious Influences. Vol 3. Part 1. Ch.1. Ch.2 Collection- housed at the British Library of Political and Economic Science] . As the century wore on legislation was passed to reduce the number of City churches and after a short, but worthy, existence [ Notes on Old City Churches Pearce,C.W.: London, Winthrop Rogers Ltd, 1909] the then Bishop of London authorised the reunification of the two parishes ["Ecclesiastical Commission. - Scheme of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for effecting an Union of the benefices of Holy Trinity, Gough Square and St Bride, Fleet Street. - London" : London(H.M.S.O.), 1906. ] , the proceeds from the sale going towards the building of "St Mellitus, Hanwell" ["Victoria County History: A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 3" Reynolds,S (Ed): Woodbridge, Boydell & Brewer Ltd1962 ISBN 9780712910347] .
