It was built in 1836, seven years after the
Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, and fourteen years before the
Restoration of the English hierarchy in 1850. As there were no dioceses in England at the time, the church came under the administration of the
Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District. It was built in a classical revival style of architecture, similar to
Chipping Norton Town Hall. From 1922 until 1969,
Heythrop Park, a
country house in the parish, was occupied by the
Society of Jesus. During that time, Heythrop Hall was a philosophy and theology college for those studying to become Jesuits. While they were there, the Jesuits also staffed Holy Trinity church. After they left, the church reverted to the care of the
Archdiocese of Birmingham, who continue to serve the parish. In March 2009,
Bishop Mark Jabalé, the
emeritus Bishop of Menevia and former
abbot of
Belmont Abbey was made the parish priest. ==Architecture==
