Hi Jan, I'm not up to speed on RC churches, but as I haven't seen a response to your question I suggest you consult the GENUKI church database. The ecclesiastical district you refer to is Holy Trinity rather than Holy Family. The database will show you all the churches close to Holy Trinity. Go to http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/churchdb/ and enter the OS reference for Holy Trinity, which is SD718086 I'll leave you to decide which church in the list might be the right one, unless any one on the list can offer more informed help.
