A Look at History
How the Church Grew Over Time
The Holy Trinity Church has been around for a very long time. It was first built in the 11th century, which is over 900 years ago! Imagine how many people have visited it since then. Over the centuries, new parts were added to the church. This happened from the 12th century all the way up to the 16th century.
In 1841, the church had some important repair work done. Just two years later, in 1843, more changes were needed. The village of Everton was growing, and more space was needed for everyone. To make the church bigger, the chancel was made longer. The chancel is the part of the church where the altar is. An extra room was also added on the south side of the chancel.
Big Changes in the 1800s
By 1869, the church needed a lot of work again. This time, it was a general restoration. During this big repair, some interesting parts of the church were removed. These were the gargoyles, which are carved stone figures often used as water spouts. The floor inside the church was also lowered. These changes helped keep the old church strong and ready for many more years.
