Background

History

The foundation stone of Holy Trinity was laid on 28 May 1838, and the church was consecrated on 11 October 1839. It was designed by William Hayley. The church was originally a chapel of ease to St Peter, Prestbury. In 1868 its interior was re-ordered, and in 1876 the clock was installed in the tower. Holy Trinity became a separate parish in its own right in 1879. Further alterations were made to the interior of the church in 1939, 1976, and 1992.

Architecture

The interior consists of a single chamber. At the west end is a gallery containing the organ. Under this is a screen to form separate rooms. In 1976, following the closure of Trinity Square School adjoining the church, the organ was removed and replaced with a modern electronic version at the front of the nave. The gallery was closed off and the space was modified to provide meeting rooms and a kitchen to replace the facilities formerly in the school.
