Former church of the Holy Trinity Chapel Hill

This church was built in 1884 and was declared redundant in 1995 and subsequently converted to a house. Services had ceased c1980 and it was my task as the then vicar to call a public meeting in 1994 to decide the future of the building. By then pigeons had taken up residence and clearing it for the public meeting was a not particularly pleasant task! In the event only one person came to the meeting, a local Methodist who was concerned that a revival of Holy Trinity might threaten the contined existence of the Methodist church in Chapel Hill. Sadly that too was to close just a few years later. The churchyard is still in use.
