About this church

A haven for walkers in the beautiful Cover valley

Few churches can compare with the stunning setting of Coverham, lying low in the valley of the River Cover in the Dales and offering a haven for walkers and many other visitors.

This handsome stone church has a large churchyard - it was an early Christian site and nearby are the few remains of Coverham Abbey. The building is of thirteenth-century origin and has a calm, light interior. There have been fourteenth and seventeenth-century additions and the tower is from the sixteenth century. There was also much Victorian rebuilding and most interior fittings date from that period.

There are interesting monuments and tombs in the churchyard.

Your support and generosity is what helps us keep the doors to these special places open. We could not do it without you. 

If you would like to donate to the upkeep and maintenance of Holy Trinity please text CVM to 70970 to donate £5 or to 70191 to give £10 every donation really does make a difference to these beautiful churches. Thank you.
