Brief history of the building.
Sacred Trinity church was originally built as a chapel-of-ease to serve the growing population of Salford in 1635. Most of the
current building dates from 1752. It is a 2* listed building with many original features. It was restored in 1877-74 and adapted
for more flexible use in the 1980’s. Sir Humphrey Booth raised the money for the original church. His grandson, also
Humphrey Booth, set up a trust to maintain the church and help the ‘poor of Salford’. The Humphrey Booth Trust is still doing
its good work.



Amongst many claims to fame for Sacred
Trinity is that William Webb Ellis was
Christened there. Webb Ellis is famed for
inventing the game of Rugby by running
with the ball in 1823 whilst at Rugby
School. He's pictured below from 1854
whilst Rector of St Clement's, Danes in
London.
Sacred Trinity are a welcoming congregation worshipping in a small but lovely building with lots of historic interest. Sacred
Trinity was the first church in Salford but is right next to Manchester city centre and we relate to both the city centre and the
rest of Salford. The building is also host to a variety of different groups.
