Holy Trinity Platt Church (also known as Holy Trinity Church, Rusholme), is in Platt Fields Park in Rusholme, Manchester, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Hulme, the archdeaconry of Manchester, and the diocese of Manchester.[1] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[2] It is the second "pot church" designed by Edmund Sharpe, so-called because the main building material used in the construction of the church is terracotta.[3]
