Tour Scotland video of wood carvings on visit to Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The east gable of the church has carved angels and a large, traceried window based upon one in Carlisle Cathedral in England. Holy Trinity Church was built in South Street, on a site central to the developing burgh, not far from the market place and the town house. It incorporates the tower and other remains of the church begun in 1411 by Bishop Wardlaw and subsequently re-built by Robert Balfour in 1798. The 1799 church was demolished in 1906 in order to rebuild, to the style of a late medieval burgh church by the architect P. MacGregor Chalmers.
