Hi
Holy Trinity Church is built on Gustav Hillock, the foundation stone was laid Oct 1837. It was previously to be in Archer Lane, but a gift of the land on Gustav Hillock meant it was in its presnt location.

The sandstone used is interesting, very different from St Thomas. It can be both hard and soft stone in the same piece. the origin is uncerain, what is pretty sure it did not come from Billinge Hill.

Holy Trinity is the parish church for Ashton, not St Thomas as is often thought. It was originally a Church of ease for Winwick parish.

Another interesting fact is since it was concecrated there have only been seven rectors incumbent at the church.
