Holy Trinity Church, Milford is a former Grade II listed parish church of the Church of England, located in Milford, Derbyshire, England.
History
The church was designed by architect William Bonython Moffatt, with Mr. Thompson of Derby serving as the contractor. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield on 26 July 1848. The land for the church was given by the Strutt family, who owned the local mills. Due to the constraints of the site, the church has an unusual north-south alignment. In 1909, the church was extended to the south-east, adding a vestry and church room designed by Hunter and Woodhouse of Belper.
Organ
In 1905, the church acquired a pipe organ built by Bevington and Sons at a cost of £450 (equivalent to approximately £47,307 in 2025). This organ was sold to Australia in 1994 and replaced by an older instrument dating from 1874, built by J.M. Grunwell, which had previously been installed at Belper Baptist Church.
Closure
Due to the high cost of upkeep, a decision was made in 2021 to cease using the church for services. The final service was held on 26 September 2021, and the church was subsequently closed as a place of worship.
Heritage Status
The church is designated as a Grade II listed building, a classification that protects buildings of special architectural or historic interest in England.
