Holy Trinity, Leighton, is a Victorian church of some distinction, built by the Naylor family, originally from Liverpool, as part of their development of the Leighton Estate. It is part of the historic parish of Trelystan with Leighton, a Welsh parish but within the Diocese of Hereford, and is part of the Chirbury Hills Group of parishes, consisting of the three parishes within the historic parish of Chirbury, together with this parish which was formed from part of the historic parish of Worthen.

Trelystan Church is a small, half-timbered building reached via a track through fields off the small road that crosses the Long Mountain between Leighton and Marton. It serves a very scattered farming community and there is no settlement surrounding the church. It is part of the Chirbury Hills Group, and the historic parish of Trelystan with Leighton is entirely within Wales, but opted not to transfer from Hereford Diocese to St Asaph (unlike neighbouring parishes) then the Church in Wales was formed in 1920.
