Holy Trinity

This church has stood proud on the South Shore skyline for over 150 years.

An impressive, Grade ll listed church, designed by Richard Knill Freeman. It was completed in 1895 and is one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical architecture in Blackpool. 

In the early 19th century, the inhabitants of South Shore began to talk about building a church. The church was built in 1836 on a site among sandhills. In 1886, a squall of wind made the roof ridge supports sag and a new church had to be built. From the old church we have the keystone, which is over the church entrance, and two original stained glass windows. The plans of the new church were drawn up by Richard Kniel Freeman. His work was mainly ecclesiastical, and across the northwest, but he also designed buildings abroad. He built the only Anglican church in Moscow and a church and house in San Remo.

The stained glass windows to the east and west are by Ward and Hughes (early 20th century). Two large windows in the south transept were designed in 1909 by Carl Almquist of Shrigley and Hunt.
