The year 1837 saw the laying of the foundation stone of the present Church and the following notes giving details of the occasion are taken from an old printed circular, given to the church and found in a Bible owned by Mr. Thomas Parker:- “This first stone of a Chapel to be built by subscription and called the Holy Trinity Chapel was laid by Hugh Hornby, the donor of the site, on this 31st day of July A.D. 1837, being the first year of the reign of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria. During the ensuing year the Church was completed and on June 13th 1838 was consecrated by Dr. John Bird Sumner, Bishop of Chester, and signed in the presence of Henry Raikes - Chancellor of Chester, John Pedder - Curate of Kirkham, Richard Moore - Incumbent of Lund and Felix Knyvett - Secretary to the Bishop.
