History
The parish was formed on 10 May 1881 out of the parishes of Holy Innocents, Tottenham Lane and Saint John the Evangelist, Brownswood Park. The first building was called the Iron Room and was dedicated on the 31st December 1880, the registers go back to this date. When the permanent church was completed, the Iron Room became the church hall. The architect of the church was EB Ferrey. A brick hall was built around 1913 to replace the Iron Room, and this brick hall became the permanent church when the old church had to be demolished, having become unsafe. The present church was dedicated on the 15th March 1961. The first vicar was Mr Jackson who was followed in 1886 by Dr Linklater who initiated the catholic tradition of the church. In 1981 Holy Trinity celebrated its centenary with the union of the two parishes of Holy Trinity and Saint Luke, Mayfield Road, Hornsey. Saint Luke was adopted as patron of the parish and his shrine was moved to Holy Trinity church.
