About Former Trinity Church

On the left as you reach the foot of High Street, is the former Trinity Church. Originally the Blackfriars Church was in this area, perhaps even on this site. A new church was built here in 1746, followed by a second in 1801 on the same site. The present building was constructed in 1818 in the low classical style, but set back from the location of its predecessors. The building is no longer in use as a church. This area of the town is where horse-trading used to take place and was called Horsemarket. The horse market was later moved to Abbey Close, only to return after protests from Townfoot residents.
