Cornforth Holy Trinity was created in 1865 from Bishop Middleham St. Michael and Kelloe St. Helen.

The following table provides covering dates for all original registers, microfilm copies and indexes available in the Record Office for Cornforth Holy Trinity. However, you should bear in mind that we may not have records for the whole period indicated. See the detailed list of records for this parish for more information.
