The church was designed by TL Walker and dates from 1842. Attleborough is now part of the Borough of Nuneaton. However, when Holy Trinity church was built, Attleborough was quite separate and regarded as a working class village. The site of the church was a gift from the Right Honourable Dudley, Earl of Harrowby from voluntary contributions of the principal landowners and inhabitants of Nuneaton. At the time when the church was built, Attleborough, with a population of 1,094, was essentially a working class village with over 60% of its workforce engaged in the ribbon weaving industry.

The church was built in 1842 to supply the spiritual needs of the poorer brethren residing in the hamlet of Attleborough. It was built by William Arthur Watson from brick with a tower and spire made of stone at a cost of £4000. Originally there was only one bell in the tower but two more were added in 1892 on the occasion of the churches Golden Jubilee. In June, 1936 the spire was struck by lightning and was restored the following year in Staffordshire stone. At 87 feet, the spire is 8 feet taller than the original one.  It is Grade II listed.

Significant alterations in recent years have been the extension in 1992 to celebrate the church's 150th anniversary, a complete re-roof of the main church in 2010-2012 and re plastering of the main church walls in lime plaster and lime-wash in 2013.  In 2024 work was begun to make the tower watertight once more.

English bond brickwork is used for the original body of the church, common bond brick to the hall extension. The roofs are in slate to both original and extension, with stone gable parapets to the main church.

Inside the church it is light and airy, with its high ceilings and beautiful stained glass window in the sanctuary.
