Holy Trinity Church is a Grade II listed building, originally built during a mid nineteenth century revival and partly re-built following a fire in 1949.
The church, designed by J. Trubshaw, is built of stone in the Early English style and consists of an aisled nave, a chancel, and a north-west porch surmounted by a tower with a stone broach spire.
It was built on land given by Charles Smith of Elmhurst Hall near Lichfield, and could originally hold up to 530 people!
For those who like to delve, we have a booklet about the history of both the church and the surrounding area that can take you back to 1212! If you do not have time for that, here is a potted version:
The church was opened in 1849, when the population of Northwood was 3,300; the graveyard became full within 18 years.
Marble memorial plaques and research papers on each person commemorate 213 local men killed in WW1 and 23 in WW2
The church’s history is littered with strong personalities and people of ‘indefatigable spirit’, and abounds with community organisations and Christian associations, including a former church school.
Our stained glass windows are striking and beautiful.
