"A curate of St. Mary’s, the Rev’d. W. S. Cole, working at "the Pier”, decided that there was a need to establish a church in the area. He had an ally, both spiritual and financial, in the then serving Archbishop Howley...  The foundation was laid in 1833 and the church was consecrated in September 1835.
[[Dover Poor Law Union, Kent]]  
The 1939 war caused the area to become derelict again and the church was taken overby the Navy. The building was damaged and never re-opened the services being carried on in the Parish Hall near Finnis’s Hill, overseenby St. Marys."<ref> Dover Society [http://www.dover-kent.com/Dover-Society1/028/028%2037-39.pdf ''The History of Holy Trinity Church in Strond Street, Dover 1835 - 1939''] Date accessed: 31 October 2021</ref><br>
