Holy Trinity Church – Low Moor, UK - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Although not the oldest established church, this is the oldest church building in the outlying districts of Bradford.

It was originally called Wibsey Chapel, even though it’s quite a way outside Wibsey. The site is roughly equidistant from Royds Hall, the home of the Rookes, and Bierley Hall, the home of the Richardsons – local gentry families. Apparently the church was chiefly endowed by William Rookes.

Inside the church are a number of ornamented gravestones dedicated to members of the Rookes family.

The church as it stands to-day is much larger than its original size. It has been modified and enlarged a number of times. The belfry tower was added in 1836, 200 years after the church was consecrated to the Holy Trinity.

When Wibsey became a parish in 1866, this church became Holy Trinity, Low Moor.

The church underwent major refurbishment in 2009.
