HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, is a neat structure in the Early English style, situated on the road from Darlington to Cockerton and Staindrop, about half a mile west-north-west from the Market-place. The foundation stone was laid by the Bishop of Durham on the 4th October 1836; and an ecclesiastical district to which this church is attached, was formerly by an order in council, dated April 3rd, 1843.The district consists of the townships of Archdeacon Newton and Cockerton, and part of the township of Darlington. The church consists of a nave and aisles, and a square tower on the north. The interior is lighted by three triple lights on the north and south, and a large triple window with a small light on each side on the east. It will accomodate upwards of 1,000 persons, and contains 600 free sittings. A new organ was erected in 1843, and a clock was placed in the tower in 1850. The living, which is stated to be worth £180 per annum, is in the patronage of the Archdeacon of Durham. Rev. Thomas W. Minton, M.A., incumbent; Rev. M. Duggan, B.A. curate.
