The present church was probably built in the early 12th century and houses an important series of late medieval wall paintings executed shortly after the completion of the church in the mid 15th century.

There is no record of first consecration but there is documentary evidence that in 1170 Thomas Beckett confirmed income to the Priory of Tywardreath.

The church is thought to date from the reign of Henry III.

Holy Trinity is surrounded by farm land and lies close to the ruined 12th century Millom Castle, once home to the venerable Huddleston family, royalists whose property Cromwell's troops damaged during the Civil War.

A church was first established on this site in the aftermath of the Dissolution of the Monasteries when Cartmel Priory was dissolved as part of the Henrician Reformation and a chapel was built on the present site using materials from Cartmel around 1537.
