History [ edit ] A church was first built on the site of Holy Trinity in 1836.[1] It was located amongst sandhills , in what is now Dean Street in Blackpool's South Shore area. Designed by John Braithwaite, the church held 250 people. The church became a parish church in 1871.[1] In the 1880s, damage to the building meant that a new church had to be built; it was completed in 1895.[2] The new design was by Bolton architect Richard Knill Freeman . Holy Trinity was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 20 October 1983.[3] The Grade II listing is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest".[4]
Architecture [ edit ] The church was designed in the Decorated Gothic style and is constructed of yellow sandstone , with dressings in red sandstone and slate roofs.[3] The tower to the north-west has five stages with angled buttresses and two-light belfry openings in triplets and a battlemented parapet .[3] [5] There is a turret with a red pyramidal roof as high as the third stage.[3]
The nave and chancel are under a continuous high roof. The nave is of three bays with pilaster buttresses.[3] The chancel has two bays and a timber vault .[5] The transepts have two gables externally, with large four-light windows.[5]
There is stained glass in windows to the east and west by Ward and Hughes , from the early 20th century. Two large windows in the south transept were designed in 1909 by Carl Almquist of Shrigley and Hunt .[5]
