Holy Trinity – Timeline/History

(Compiled by Ken Turner with information from Willenhall History Society).

Rev. John Deacon left the Parish at the end of 2019 to take up a post at New Cross Hospital. This left Holy Trinity without a priest’s leadership. Then in 2020 the Covid 19 Pandemic struck and depleted the church going members. Holy Trinity was impoverished by this and was also robbed of a lot of its income.

This is the Holy Trinity timeline to the present day. A church rich in local history which has been here 175 years and in which many local people have been Christened, Married and also held their funerals. We cannot lose this historical building.  We must find a way to finish the roof repairs and get our finances back in order. Lichfield has failed to give us a vicar and offered us very little help so we have to do it ourselves.

We do have some dedicated people. Our Church Wardens, Polly and Betty have done a sterling job and Gill Oplocky has been the Stalwart of the cause.

We must make sure that this is not the end of Holy Trinity and the 175 years’ timeline is extended.  Our historic church, so rich in local history continues to serve the Parish of Short Heath for the service of all its people.
