It was built in the early fifteenth century, near the residential and trading centre of St Andrews. During the late Middle Ages Holy Trinity was regarded as one of Scotland's leading parish churches and was served by about thirty priests. The interior was richly decorated with stained glass, luxurious fabrics, and statues imported from Flanders. In 1547 Holy Trinity was the scene of the first public sermon of the famous Reformer, John Knox. In 1559, Knox again preached in Holy Trinity, commanding the people of St Andrews to purge the city of "monuments of idolatry". Inspired by Knox's words, the local population rejected Catholicism, tore down statues and altars, and sacked St Andrews Cathedral. At the start of the twentieth century Holy Trinity was extensively remodelled. Today, only the tower and some pillars inside the church survive from the Middle Ages. This project was funded by St Andrews Community Trust. 2019 image/jpeg Reconstruction 193 current,56.3396,-2.7954; http://canmore.org.uk/site/34347 Firstly, a digital landscape was created using survey data and height maps. Following extensive historical research and collaboration with specialists, 3D models are created and imported into UNREAL Engine (a cross-platform game engine for creating virtual worlds). Models are textured, scaled, oriented and assembled. Scenes are created and populated with appropriate objects, including furniture and artefacts. Landscapes populated with flora and fauna. Weather settings and atmospheric lighting. Where applicable, models of characters, animals or 3D digitised artefacts were imported and animated. Research regarding the historic architecture of Holy Trinity was undertaken by Dr Bess Rhodes and Perin Westerhof Nyman. Drawing upon historic maps and illustrations. We were able to better understand how the church may have been formed in 1559.
