Church of the Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity Church rises 226 feet above Ossett with its central tower and spire, serving as the principal Church of England parish church.

The church construction started in 1862 on Field Lane after purchasing land for both the building and burial grounds, replacing an earlier structure from 1806.

The interior features granite piers with carved capitals, an octagonal pulpit depicting the Four Evangelists, and stained glass windows illustrating biblical events.

The cemetery contains over 16,000 graves, including Victorian monuments and war memorials, with the first burial recorded in December 1861.

Robert Thompson incorporated carved mice into the church furniture, creating his signature mark that visitors search for within the building.
