History of Holy Trinity Church

Watermoor Holy Trinity Church  -  150th Anniversary in 2001

Back in 1841, the Parish Church in the Market place was bursting at the seams, with the "880 persons which could be accommodated in enclosed pews, 188 in open benches in the passages and 450 school children in the distant gallery". What a wonderful witness to God!

And so, they started raising funds to build Holy Trinity Church "on the outskirts of the town". Work began in 1847, in order to accommodate the many people who wanted to go to church.
