Although there has been a Holy Trinity on this site since 1113, the current building dates mainly from the 14th century. It is one of Coventry's three churches with tall spires, and has survived the Reformation, the Civil War and World War II. The Doom painting was created in the 1430s, and is considered one of the best examples in Britain; its excellent state of preservation may be due to being covered up for most of its history.

Holy Trinity has been the subject of research into the music that would have been heard in the church during the years 1451-1642. The 'Aural Histories' project is led by The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. The Binchois Consort, His Majesty's Sagbutts and Cornetts, and the Choir of Holy Trinity Church will present music from the period at a concert on Friday Sept 12th at 7.30pm, accompanied by visual imagery depicting Holy Trinity Church, St Michael’s Parish Church (the old cathedral), and St Mary’s Guildhall as they may have appeared at key points in time between 1451 and 1642. Free admission, and followed by refreshments.
