Holy Trinity Church,
Church Road, Heath Town
This listed Victorian church sports an unusual (and
possibly unique in Wolverhampton) set of memorial plaques set into the
floor near the font at the west end. The tiles seem to be in an
encaustic style. The churchwarden, David Hudson, suggests that
their layout, and the fact that the basic design of each is identical,
indicates that they may all have been laid at one time, rather than
separately, on or near the dates recorded on them. The fact that
the layout allows for ten plaques and there are only nine reinforces
this suggestion and also implies that it was intended to continue the
series from time to time as occasion arose.
