RESPONDING to the spiritual needs of a growing community in the Lawkholme district of Keighley, Holy Trinity Church was consecrated in 1882, built on land given by the Duke of Devonshire.
Described as being "in the Early English style of architecture" and accommodating 730, it was the work of local architect Joseph Booth Bailey who also designed the adjoining vicarage.
Between the wars its supporters held an annual festival, appropriately on the weekend nearest Trinity Sunday, when they would walk in procession round the locality, stopping at various points to sing hymns, before enjoying tea and games. In 1930 these included a race for members of the Mothers' Union, the winner of which got a cake!
Habits change, however, and in 1972 Holy Trinity was demolished.
