Bell Tower - Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Berrima
The church was built in 1849 & continues its good work to this day. The bell tower houses two bells which are operated from inside the church. The chain can be seen just behind the tower.
The church is listed with the NSW Government's Environment & Heritage Office as of state significance & is also classified by the National Trust.

The Holy Trinity Church is the first church individually designed by the state’s leading Gothic Revival architect Edmund Blacket, who would then go on to design over 100 churches, including five cathedrals, throughout Australia. The church is significant because of its social and religious associations with the local community. It is also significant through its associations with both Bishop (later Archbishop) Broughton - Australia's first Anglican Archbishop, and Edmund Blacket. It is a good representative example of the smaller Gothic Revival churches Blacket designed for various towns throughout the state and is one of the earliest of these buildings. The siting and relative intactness of the building's early fabric enhance its significance.
