Holy Trinity Church, Blackpool, Anglican church in South Shore, Blackpool, England
Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican place of worship in South Shore, completed in 1895. The structure features a north-west tower, yellow sandstone walls with red sandstone details, and a slate roof built in Decorated Gothic style.
The current building replaced an earlier church from 1836 designed by John Braithwaite, with the new structure erected under architect Richard Knill Freeman. This late 19th-century rebuild reflects the period's preference for Gothic Revival architecture.
The church displays stained glass windows created by Ward and Hughes, including two large windows in the south transept from 1909. These artworks fill the interior with colored light and add visual richness to the sacred space.
The best time to visit is during daylight hours to see the architecture and stained glass in good light. Weekday mornings tend to be less crowded, allowing for a quieter experience.
The building received Grade II listed status in 1983, marking its architectural importance. The tower showcases angled buttresses, triplet belfry openings, and a battlemented parapet that are characteristic features of the Gothic style from that era.
