The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner included only one Ossett building in his survey of the West Riding – Holy Trinity church. It was designed in the Gothic style by the Huddersfield architect, W. H. Crossland. When the foundation stone was laid in 1862, the estimated cost of the church was £8,000. Much of the money was donated by Benjamin Ingham, a member of an Ossett family which had made a fortune in the wine trade in Sicily. Dedicated in 1865 by the Bishop of Ripon, the church’s spire still dominates the skyline of the town.
