HOLY TRINITY CHURCH
The Holy Trinity Church is situated in Millom, close to the Castle. It is an ancient sandstone structure, and has monuments to the Huddlestone and other families of great antiquity. A tomb of alabaster of rare beauty and workmanship is located within. It consists of the effigies of a male and female in a reclining position, with the representation of six angels on either side, each bearing a scroll.
It is a noble and ancient production of art. In the churchyard is an ancient stone cross in excellent preservation. A vicarage was once located near the church, however it was destroyed by Cromwell during the civil war. The Huddlestons were Royalists, and Cromwell did not want the vicarage being used as a refuge.
