Members of Holy Trinity Church, Lawkholme, pose informally at one of their between-the-wars Sunday School festivals. Appropriately, these were held on the weekend of Trinity Sunday, usually in June. On the Saturday afternoon they would walk in procession round the district, stopping to sing hymns at various points en route - in 1930, for example, at Bradford Street, Marlborough Street, Victoria Park gates, Parson Street, Eric Street and East Avenue. Usually they were accompanied and led by a band, though in 1931 their newly-formed troop of Wolf Cubs headed their procession, the Mothers' Union bringing up the rear. After tea in the Sunday School, sports and games were held at Threaproyd or at the cricket or rugby field, where this group was probably photographed. One novelty in 1930 was a race for mothers, the winner of which got a cake.

Responding to the needs of a growing community at Lawkholme, Holy Trinity Church had been consecrated in 1882. It was demolished in 1972.
