It was built in the early 20th century, and designed by Huon Matear in free Decorated style.

It is constructed mainly in red brick, and has a tower, the upper parts of which are in elaborately decorated stone.

Southport did not develop as a town until the later part of the 18th century, before which the area contained only scattered dwellings and small settlements, the main one of which was Churchtown.

As the population in the area grew it became evident that a more substantial building was needed, and the first Holy Trinity Church was built in 1836.

In 1840 an organ and gallery were installed in it, the church was extended to the east by 12 feet (3.7 m) and a clock was added to the tower in 1847.

The completed nave was dedicated on 15 December 1904 by the Rt Rev Francis Chavasse, bishop of Liverpool.

Each side is arched and contains a louvred three-light bell opening incorporating a clock face.

The top stage is octagonal and contains blind tracery, a stepped parapet, and short flying buttresses linking to the pinnacles.

The west front is flanked by octagonal turrets joined by an arch, below which are two two-light windows and a balustraded balcony.

On the north side are two similar bays, and a transept with two gables, each containing a three-light window.

The reredos of 1921 has an elaborately carved frame and contains paintings by Sidney Meteyard with Walter Gilbert.

The rood screen incorporates the pulpit and a tester, and is carved with a vine frieze, birds and snails.

[9] In addition to its liturgical duties, the choir also performs in concerts, including in the Trinity Arts Festival.
