Holy Trinity Church on Church Hill was consecrated in 1847 at a time when the population of the area was rapidly expanding. Kimberley, although an ancient settlement mentioned in the Domesday Book (as Chinemarelie), was a part of the parish of Greasley and the original intention was that the new building should act as a chapel of ease to Greasley Church. Kimberley became a parish in 1851, albeit with a curate in charge and an arrangement under which ecclesiastical fees were retained by the vicar of Greasley until the end of his incumbency, which occurred in 1866. More recently, the church underwent a major restoration in 1937.
