The church was built in 1838 to a design by the Lancaster architect Edmund Sharpe.[2] It replaced a small chapel on the other side of Chapel Back. It was consecrated on 29 October 1838 by Charles Longley, Bishop of Ripon.[3]
Holy Trinity Church has a simple design in Early English style; it is built in rubble with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. Its plan consists of a nave with a short chancel. The west front is gabled with buttresses at the corners; it contains three windows and a doorway, above which is a bellcote. On both the north and south sides are six lancet windows, with a buttress between the first and second windows from the west on each side. The chancel is slightly lower than the nave. It has one window on each side, and a triple lancet window at the east end. Internally there is a west gallery, box pews and a panelled font.[2]
