Holy Trinity was an Anglican parish church built in Hulme, Manchester in 1841 to a design by George Gilbert Scott and S. Moffat. Construction cost around £18,000 and was funded by Eleanora Atherton, [1] the granddaughter of Edward Byrom, who had himself founded St John's Church, Manchester. [2] [3] The church was on Stretford Road, to the east of Hulme town hall. [4]
The hammer-beam roof was decorated with plaster angels painted to resemble wood. The church was considered a good composition by The Builder. Scott used the same design for six other churches. [5] Partially damaged by bombing in World War II, it was demolished in 1953.
