Holy Trinity Church was a now demolished church in the village of Thorpe Thewles, County Durham, England.
It was built in 1848–49 to replace an isolated church on a different site [1] which had been dedicated to Thomas à Becket. [2] The Thomas à Becket church is now in ruins and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. [3] It is also a scheduled monument. [4]
Holy Trinity Church was designed by the Lancaster architects Sharpe and Paley at an estimated cost of £600, and could seat 175 people. It measured 68 feet (20.7 m) by 23 feet 6 inches (7.2 m) but by the 1880s it was suffering from decay and damp, and was demolished. [1]
It was replaced on the same site in 1886–87 by the present church, dedicated to St James. [2] This church is a Grade II listed building. [5]
