Trinity Church is a historic church in Holderness, New Hampshire, near the town of Plymouth. The small single story wood frame building was constructed in 1797 by Samuel Livermore, a prominent early settler of Holderness and a New Hampshire statesman. It was built in land owned by Livermore, and remained in the family's ownership until 1854, when Arthur Livermore Jr. deeded it along with the adjoining burying ground to the Trinity Church Yard Cemetery Association for one dollar. The association has owned and maintained it ever since. Holderness School opened with a sermon in Trinity Church on September 11, 1879, and it served as the school's chapel until 1884.[2] The school still holds annual services here.

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
