Holy Trinity was built in 1833/4 in the perpendicular style and consecrated on 14th October 1834, within the Parish of Painswick. Rt Rev Lord Bishop of Gloucester carried out the consecration. It not only served the village of Slad but the developing area of Uplands further down the valley towards Stroud. Rev Arthur Hill was appointed Curate in charge and took the first service on October 19th 1834. In 1844 Slad became a separate Parish and he was appointed as the first incumbent.

Exterior Description
Original Churchyard Consecrated in 1834 on original church plot. The Church and original churchyard are on the side of a hill and because of this general the Church and Graves are arranged in a SSW-NNE direction. Since this period several plots of land adjoining have been donated to the church, all of which have been used and the current open churchyard was consecrated in 1928 and continues to be actively used and now contain around 1400 remains in total.
The older churchyard surrounds the church most of which has graves from 1842 to 1928 and then the current top churchyard is up the zig-zag track to the right of the Church door where most burials (around 460) from 1928 to current have taken place.
