COALBROOKDALE.

A beautiful little Church dedicated to the Holy Trinity was erected here

by the munificence of the Darby family, who endowed it, and gave to the

Incumbent a handsome house as a residence. It is in the Decorated Gothic

style. It consists of nave, chancel, and aisles, and has a handsome

tower, with illuminated clock, and a peal of eight fine-toned bells. It

will accommodate 850 persons, and is generally well filled.

The number of communicants averages 60. The Sacrament is administered

monthly, and on the usual festivals. The offerings for the poor are

about £25 yearly; for the expenses of the Church, somewhere about £2

weekly, i.e., £104 annually. There is a good state of religious feeling.
