The district parish of Holy Trinity, Short Heath was formed in 1846. Initially services were held in a room at the Jolly Collier Inn, by the Rev James Leckie, followed by a licenced room in the village, until the church , in Church Road, was finally built in 1854-5, and consecrated on Trinity Sunday, 25th July 1855. The Rev Leckie died in 1853 and was succeeded by the Rev WL Rosedale.
The church, designed by W Horton, is a building of stone, in the Gothic style, consisting of a chancel, nave, aisles, vestry, sacristy, and a turret containing one bell.
A monument of marble and Bath stone was erected in 1875, at the entrance to the church, in memory of Enoch Dutson. A stained glass window in the east end was erected in memory of the Rev WE Rosedale, first vicar of Holy Trinity.
The living is a vicarage, in the alternate gift of the Crown and the Bishop of Lichfield.
