Holy Trinity Church, Kirk Ireton, is a Grade I listed building of 12th century date with subsequent additions and alterations in most succeeding centuries to the 19th century. It consists of a west tower, nave and aisles and clerestory, south porch and chancel with one bay chapels and vestry. The building is constructed of coursed rubble gritstone and gritstone ashlar. (3)
A total of eight cores were taken from oak timbers in the bell frame in order to carry out tree ring dating. These provided a felling date range of 1610 to 1645, with the likely felling date estimated as being c. 1625. (5)
