Additional information:
Originally Holy Trinity Stockton on Tees was created as a chapel of ease within the parish of Stockton upon Tees St Thomas in 1837. Later, the chapels of Stockton St James in 1868 and Stockton St John the Baptist in 1872 were added within the town.
Stockton was formerly a chapelry, in the parish of Norton (which also see), from which it was separated by an act of Parliament obtained in 1713. The ancient chapel, supposed to have been erected about the year 1237, was taken down, and the present church was completed in 1712.
