Holy Trinity Church is a redundant Anglican parish church in Trinity Street, Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] It was a Commissioners' church, having received a grant towards its construction from the Church Building Commission.[2]

History
Holy Trinity was built between 1823 and 1825, and was designed by Philip Hardwick.[1] A grant of £13,924 (equivalent to £1,020,000 in 2021)[3] was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission.[2] The church was declared redundant on 1 July 1993.[4]
Architecture
Exterior
The church is faced with ashlar stone and has slate roofs. Its architectural style is Perpendicular. The plan consists of a seven-bay nave, a shallow chancel with a vestry to its east, and a west tower. The tower is in four stages with angle buttresses. It has a west doorway, above which is a pair of tiered windows. The third stage contains clock faces, and in the top stage are three-light bell openings. On the summit are crocketed pinnacles at the corners and at the midpoint on each side. The nave bays are separated by buttresses. These rise to crocketed pinnacles, which are joined by an embattled parapet. In each bay is a three-light tiered window. The chancel has a lancet window on the north and south sides, and a nine-light east window.[1]
Interior
Inside the church are galleries on three sides, the lateral galleries being carried on five-bay arcades. Both the nave and the chancel have vaulted ceilings. On each side of the chancel arch are paintings, one of which depicts the Nativity and the other the Ascension. Most of the fittings and furniture have been removed.[1] The three-manual organ was made by John Nicholson in 1860 for Manchester Cathedral.[5] It was moved to Holy Trinity in 1874 by Jardine and Company, and rebuilt by the same company in 1905. It was overhauled in 1957 and 1960 by Rushworth and Dreaper.[6]
