Holy Trinity Church was originally built as a chapel-of-ease to St Mary’s, Lancaster in 1745 on land bequeathed for the purpose in the village blacksmith’s will of 1742.  By the early 1800s the chapel was too small for the growing population and in 1840 it was redesigned and rebuilt by the Lancaster architect, Edmund Sharpe with the help of a personal contribution from Queen Victoria. The church features a number of stained glass windows designed by Shrigley and Hunt, Abbott and Company, and the Loyne Ecclesiastical Studios amongst others.

Provenance: the artist’s studio sale.

Condition: very good.
