Holy Trinity Platt Church, Anglican church in Platt Fields Park, Manchester, England.
Holy Trinity Platt Church is an Anglican church in Platt Fields Park, Manchester, designed in the Gothic Revival style. The building features a tall octagonal spire with flying buttresses, a three-stage tower, and fine terracotta detailing that decorates the entire structure.
Edmund Sharpe designed the church in 1845, making terracotta the primary material of its construction. This innovative use of fired clay earned it the designation as Sharpe's second so-called pot church.
The church took the Holy Trinity name as a way to establish an Anglican presence against the local Unitarian community's influence. This choice of dedication reflected the religious identity that worshippers sought in the neighbourhood.
The church accommodates around 700 visitors and has a modern hall extension from 1967 on its east side for community use. Its location in a park makes it easy to reach on foot and provides a relaxed setting for exploring.
The entire building, including the interior arcade piers, is made from terracotta crafted to look like stone. This crafted approach shows a bold and innovative method of church construction for its time.
