<div><strong>Please Help us REVIVE THE TRINITY STONES, a precious and fragile part of Edinburgh’s medieval heritage.</strong>

<div>Jill and Hetty are looking for support to set up an outreach programme of walks, talks and information sharing to accompany our free exhibition to be held at the <strong>Museum of Edinburgh in May and June 2026.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>A  very big  'THANK YOU'  to everyone who has donated, your generosity has helped us to nearly achieve our target and we would be thrilled to receive a little more support just to get us over the line. We have been working hard on our free outreach programme  of walks and talks and details of how to book will be publicised very soon. </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>J &amp; H</strong>
</div>
<div>The museum already has a great collection of Trinity stones for visitors to see and here we will be telling the fascinating story of the rise and fall of the <strong>Trinity Collegiate Church, Mary of Guelder’s magnificent royal foundation of 1460</strong>. Many of the most decorative stones, from grinning gargoyles to delicate traceries, were lost when the church was demolished to make way for Waverley Station in 1848. Thanks to our project, they are being rediscovered in gardens, parks and out of the way places all over the city and they need to be preserved and protected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our walks and illustrated talks will bring the history of the church and these stones to life, give a vivid sense of Edinburgh in the fifteenth century and explain the importance of finding a future for the stones which are over 500 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations, of any amount, will allow us to hire lecture space and equipment for our talks and produce comprehensive written and visual information about the church, the stones and the importance of their architectural and historical heritage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any funding raised above our target of £1600.00 will go towards the next phase - a <strong>REVIVING THE TRINITY STONES digital reconstruction project.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would be delighted to talk to all donors who visit the exhibition and to invite major donors to special events.
