The church of Holy Trinity was built in 1841-43 to accommodate the growing population of Gainsborough. Its cruciform plan, with a tiny chancel, large, three bay transepts and an unaisled nave with a west gallery was designed for pre-Tractarian, prayer book worship, with pews facing inwards from three sides. The architect, Thomas Johnson of Lichfield (1794-1865) built a number of churches in the Midlands. It was repaired and the chancel enlarged in 1871, and there was further work in 1911. It became redundant in 1973 and was converted into an arts centre in 1982-84. For the full description of this listed building please refer to the National Heritage List for England. {2}
