Built in 1960, Blacon's C of E parish church has the full name of Holy Trinity Without The Walls, a very old fashioned sounding name for a modern church. Before present day Blacon was developed in the 1960s this area was part of the old parish of Blacon cum Crabwall, with a distant Parish Church of the Holy Trinity way off in Chester. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/chs/churches/chester-holy%20trinity.html This was closed in 1960 and replaced by this church in the middle of the newly developed suburb. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/chs/churches/chester-holy%20trinity%20without.html hence Without, as in outside, the Walls.
