History
It was designed by the architect Henry Isaac Stevens.
It was a church in the early English style, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was consecrated on 13 October 1841 by John Kaye the Bishop of Lincoln; its external dimensions were 129 feet by 64, and it had a square tower, on which was an octagonal lantern 24 feet high, surmounted with a spire rising 29 feet. It was built at a cost of £10,000 (equivalent to £820,070 in 2015). The living was in the gift of Trustees; and had a net income of £400.
It was built on land released under the 1839 enclosure of Burton Leys and out of the parish of St. Mary's Church, Nottingham.
The spire was the tallest in Nottingham. Unfortunately, the spire was declared unsafe and removed sometime prior to the closure of the church.
In 1859, the parishioners built Trinity Free Church as a chapel of ease to Holy Trinity. This later became independent as St. Stephen's Church, Bunker's Hill.
In 1954, Canon R.J.R. Skipper of Holy Trinity Church, Lenton, died in the pulpit whilst preaching.
