Holy Trinity church, Hartshill

Holy Trinity Church was built in 1842 at the expense of Herbert Minton, the pottery owner, by George Gilbert Scott. The church has an apse end of the chancel which was added later in the 1860s or 1870s. Inside there is a fantastic display of Minton tiles, so commonly used in Victorian churches but probably nowhere in such quality and quantity. There are tiles almost everywhere in the church - including the vestry beside the north entrance, along the aisle walls, behind the altar, and in the choir. There is also a memorial tile marking the grave of Herbert Minton himself
