Secrets of Holy Trinity Church, Shirebrook
Holy Trinity Church, Church Drive, Shirebrook, Mansfield, Derbyshire, NG20 8DD
Guided tours of Holy Trinity Church, Shirebrook available on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 10am and 2pm.
The church's Lady Chapel dates from 1844 and was extended in 1904 to cater for an influx of parishioners following the opening of Shirebrook Colliery in 1896. The church is constructed of Derbyshire sandstone and is Grade II listed.
The tours will delve into some of the secrets of the church's history including:
• Relations with the local squires - including a case which ended up in the highest church court in the land
• The story of a war hero who lost his life in the final days of the First World War
• A heartfelt commemoration to a vicar's daughter killed in a road accident in the 1930s
• A royal coat of arms discovered, restored and displayed.
The church is usually only open for worship and this is a rare opportunity to see some of its artefacts.
The tours will meet in the porch of the church and are expected to last for approx 1 hour 30 minutes.
There is some uneven ground in the churchyard and a few steps in the church but fully accessible route is available.
Parking available on site.
Refreshments available following the tour.
Led by tour guide and licensed reader, James Taylor.
