Holy Trinity Church, Heath Town, Anglican church in Heath Town, Wolverhampton, England
Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican church in Heath Town featuring a 140-foot stone tower as its dominant architectural element. Inside, visitors find oak seating, wooden doors, and decorative Minton encaustic tiles set into the chancel floor, showing careful Victorian craftsmanship.
Edward Banks designed the building between 1850 and 1852, with the Bishop of Lichfield conducting the consecration ceremony on July 22, 1852. The site later gained added structures and became a place of community significance beyond its original religious purpose.
The churchyard serves as a place of remembrance with 53 war graves from both world wars, reflecting how the community honors those who died in military service. Visitors walking through find themselves in a space where local history and personal loss are marked with care.
The site spans seven acres with multiple areas to explore, including pathways through the grounds and around the main building. A renovation completed in 2020 improved accessibility, making most of the space easier to navigate for visitors of varying mobility.
The grounds contain Grade II listed Jacobean style almshouses dating to 1850, a distinctive architectural feature separate from the main church. A lych gate built in 1920 serves as both a passage and a war memorial, creating an unexpected dual purpose.
