Holy Trinity Church, Sunderland

Holy Trinity is a church in Sunderland. It was opened in 1719 as the church for the newly created Parish of Sunderland.
It is a listed building and is one of the oldest buildings in the East End of Sunderland.
It is unknown who built the church, but what is known for sure is that Daniel Newcombe – who was appointed rector – and William Etty were involved in some of its design. A plaque marking its Grade I listed building status credits Etty as the designer. In its early years, the building was also home to the Select Vestrymen — in effect the town council — and the library and the mechanical fire pump.
The church is now in use for worship again, See its website for times of services. It is also used by Sunderland Old Township Heritage Society, the Donnison School, the Rector Gray Society and the communities of Hendon and Old Sunderland during \"Heritage Days\". In 2013 the ACCORD exhibition was held in the church, featuring painting, sculpture, photographs and video installations inspired by the church itself and the local area.
