Holy Trinity was consecrated on 17th February, 1832. It served the growing local population in what became a relatively poor working class area. As time went by, the congregation dwindled and the authorities released the church in the 1960s. It then became used, on and off, as a community venue for local groups. Often the church building fell back into dereliction before reopening again. Today it is a music and arts venue and has remained open for a couple of decades; it even has received a licence to perform civil ceremonies and now can hold weddings once again! A bolt benchmark is just visible at the foot of the nearest bell tower - see Image
