The church of Holy Trinity in Sloane Street was constructed between 1828 and 1830 as a chapel of ease to Saint Luke's, then parish church of Chelsea. The area of Upper Chelsea was assigned to Holy Trinity as a separate parish in 1832. The parish merged with that of Saint Jude's Church in 1892. In 1888 the church was demolished as it was too small and was rebuilt by 1907 to seat 1,800. It was designed by J.D. Seddings and included decoration by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. The church is considered to be an excellent example of the Arts and Crafts movement; there was outcry in the 1970s when it was threatened with destruction and Sir John Betjeman contributed a poem to the campaign to save it. In 1997 the living was suspended as the church was so poorly attended.
