The photograph of Matlock Bath's Parish Church, with the Heights
of Abraham in the background, was taken about 1950 from
Bath Terrace. The large window behind the altar faces south,
as the church could not be built on the traditional east
/ west alignment. Portland House, at the bottom of Clifton
Road, is the large property on the left.
The Rev. N. B. Johnston was inducted Vicar of Holy Trinity
in 1950[1]. The next
incumbent was the Rev. L. E Waghorn, of St. Peter Drayton, Oxfordshire,
and formerly of Coventry, who accepted the living in 1955.This
was in the gift of the Church Trust Fund Society. Rev. Waghorn's
appointment meant that the Church had succeeded in remaining
independent, so not to be unified with the parishes of Bonsall
and/or Cromford[2].
