Church of Holy Trinity, Usworth - Sunderland

Designed by John and Benjamin Green of Newcastle, Holy Trinity church was built in 1831-2. It consists of a wide aisleless nave with bellcote over the west gable and chancel with a south lean-to vestry. The slated roofs of the nave are showing significant signs of reaching the end of their serviceable life (many areas of slipped and patched slating and water leakage internally). The Hall has been re-roofed, but the abutment with the tower is not weathertight. An unsuccessful funding bid for repairs was submitted in 2017 to the National Lottery Heritage Fund Grants for Places of Worship scheme.
