Chapel Street, SALFORD, M3 5DW

Sacred Trinity is on the junction of Chapel St and Blackfriars Rd, very close to Manchester City Centre. Sacred Trinity church was originally built as a chapel-of-ease to serve the growing population of Salford in 1635. Most of the current building dates from 1752. It is a Grade 2 listed building with many original features. It was restored in 1877-74 and adapted for more flexible use in the 1980’s. Sir Humphrey Booth raised the money for the original church. His grandson, also Humphrey Booth, set up a trust to maintain the church and help the ‘poor of Salford’. http://www.salfordchurch.org/Sacred_Trinity.html
