Startforth Holy Trinity (Ref: EP/Star)

Startforth Holy Trinity is an ancient parish which was originally in the North Riding of Yorkshire and was transferred to County Durham in 1974. In 1733 the chapelry of Arkengarthdale, within this parish, became a separate ecclesiastical parish.

The church of Holy Trinity consists of a chancel 22 ft. by 18 ft., with small north vestry and south organ chamber, nave 53 ft. 6 in. by 25 ft., south porch and a western tower 8 ft. square inside.

It was built in 1863 in place of the old church, which is described by Whitaker (in 1823) as a diminutive structure without aisles or tower, probably a rebuilding within half a century of Domesday. A photograph of it, hanging in the vestry, shows its general appearance. It had a small single lancet at the east, and to the south-east a triplet of small lancets, with another lancet further to the west. In the west wall of the nave were two long, narrow trefoiled lights with widely splayed jambs, and in the west gable was a bellcote. It was completely destroyed when the present church was built.
