Holy Trinity Church, Tansley is a parish church in the Church of England[2] in Tansley, Derbyshire.
The foundation stone was laid on 1 May 1839[3] by Sir George Harpur Crewe, Bart, MP in the presence of Revd. Thomas Carson, vicar of Crich, and Archdeacon Hodgson. A seraphine was played by Mr. Kidd, the organist of Cromford Chapel. A bottle was placed in the foundation containing coins of the present reign, with a list of subscribers to the church.
The church was built to the designs of the architect John Mason of Derby. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 18 September 1840[4]
A north aisle was added in 1870 by the architects Stevens and Robinson of Derby.[5]
