Trinity Church is a former Presbyterian church located on School Street in Barrow-in-Furness, England. The church building was built in 1875 to accommodate the town's large Scottish Presbyterian congregation which had been meeting in the Welsh Chapel for ten years.[1] The church closed around 100 years later in 1971 after the union of various other congregations (including St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and the English Presbyterians).[1] The building continued to be used for various functions, however in March 2005 was almost nearly destroyed by fire when it was being used as a bike store.[1]
The Italian/Romanesque church was designed by Paley and Austin architects and cost £5,000 to build on a site that was donated to the Presbyterian congregation by Sir James Ramsden.[1] Trinity Church is just one of seven places of worship in Barrow with listed building status.[2]
