The interior of the Evangelical Free "Union" Church, located on Hamilton Street, that later became known as Holy Trinity Church, serving the Episcopal congregation from 1905. The church is located in the Globe Village section of Southbridge. The ornate painting and stenciling on the walls and ceiling is resplendent. The ceiling supports are functional as well as being part of an attractive design element. The bench style seating in two side aisles and a double row of seating in the center aisle. In some instances, the prayer books are tucked into the seat holder. The organ towers upward into the ceiling. An ornate light fixture hangs suspended into the foreground. An altar and railings separates the church from the chancel. Flanked on each side of the altar is a painted quotation.
