The Old Holy Trinity Church is a redundant Anglican church in the village of Wentworth, South Yorkshire, England. It is partly in ruins, and stands close to a newer church also dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The old church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[1] and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2]
The tower dates from the 14th–15th century, while the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1684 for William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford.[1] A new church, designed by J. L. Pearson was built nearby in 1872–76.[3] The nave of the old church was dismantled in the later part of the 19th century. In 1925 the chancel and a chapel were restored for William Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, 7th Earl Fitzwilliam. Further renovation was carried out in 1985.[1] Holy Trinity was declared redundant on 12 February 1975, and was vested in the trust on 2 July 1976.[4]
