Hoghton, Holy Trinity

The chapel of Hoghton in the Parish of Leyland, to give the church its original title, was founded in 1823, the churchyard wall and gates being erected later. It was first intended to be a chapel of ease to Leyland Parish Church and the cost of the fabric was provided by a fund raised by the Vicar of Leyland at that time. However, in 1842 by an order in council, Hoghton itself was created an ecclesiastical parish.

Sadly the first church building proved unsatisfactory and in 1884 it was pronounced unsafe and was closed. Despite the church's drawbacks it had served as a place of worship for two generations.

The rebuilding of the church commenced, with architecture based on the Perpendicular Gothic tradition, funded by the trustees of the late Sir Henry Hoghton. It opened on 21st April 1887. A tower had been included with a belfry and set of eight bells. These are still rung regularly today by our bellringers and visiting teams.

Situated on the left hand side of the old Blackburn to Preston road (A675) in the lovely countryside adjacent to Hoghton Tower, the church stands back off the road and has its own car park.

If, as we hope, some of you can come and explore, do note the 'Te Deum' east window as you look around. Then, if you wish, sit and allow peace and hope to flow into you as you sense God's nearness.
