Holy Trinity Church lies on Boar Lane in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

A 1714 proposal that a new church should be erected in central Leeds foundered for lack of subscribers, but, in 1722, Lady Elizabeth Hastings of Ledston, backed by leading merchants, revived the project, and the foundation stone of Holy Trinity was laid on 27 August 1722.

[3][4] A letter from William Cookson to Ralph Thoresby dated 15 May 1723, enclosed "a draught [sic], the south front of our new church"; it was drawn by Mr. Etty of York, who has also made us a wooden modell for our workmen to go by.

Thomas Dunham Whitaker, Vicar of Whalley, Lancashire, in his Loidis and Elmete (1816), remarked of this spire: "unquestionably one instance among many of private interference, by which the better judgment of real architects is often overruled, and for which they are unjustly considered as responsible.

"[1][5] When the spire blew down in 1839, it was replaced by a taller stone steeple of three diminishing stages (architect: Robert Dennis Chantrell).
