Holy Trinity Church was opened in 1719 as the church for the newly created Parish of Sunderland and is one of the oldest buildings in the East End of Sunderland. Once at the heart of the community centred on the port, the church was closed in 1988 because of a dwindling congregation and the need for expensive repairs (Link Tyne and Wear HER(4421)). It is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
The church is a Grade I listed building (English Heritage List Entry Number: 1208056 Link Heritage Gateway).
NC8766 : Snow Admiral memorial This memorial to a Sunderland vessel that was wrecked in the Pentland Firth in 1842 lacks any further detail. Is there a record of the incident in the annals of Sunderland I wonder?
