READERS Lynne P Humphreys, of Earby, and Michael Townson, both correctly identified last week’s church as the relatively modern, Holy Trinity Church in Barnoldswick. Michael tells us that the church was consecrated in 1960 by Dr Donald Coggan who was bishop of Bradford at the time. He adds it was built to replace the former St James’ Church and originally had a tower, but that problems led to the tower being replaced by the current smaller spire.

According to the church’s own website, there was no established church within easy reach for the people of Barnoldswick, and it was the fervent wish of the Rev Richard Milner - formerly curate and then vicar - that there should be.

A Mr Royd of Rochdale donated a site in the centre of the town for a new school and Sunday School. This was built in the style of a church and opened in 1838. After use as a school for a few years, Rev Milner achieved his aim and in 1842 the Lord Bishop of Ripon consecrated the school as St James’ Church.

However, the church was never consecrated for marriages, was in a cramped position, and there were problems with the structure.

It was decided to build a new church on the site acquired a short distance away. St James was pulled down and a small supermarket erected on the site. The new church, Holy Trinity, was built and consecrated in 1960 by Dr Coggan. Formerly the church had a tower, but continuing problems with it meant that eventually a small spire replaced it.

The interior features of the church, which is part of the Anglican Diocese of Leeds, include some interesting mosaics on the front of the altar and around the font.
