Holy Trinity Church in Halstead is a striking example of mid-19th-century Gothic Revival architecture, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and built in 1843-44 to serve the growing community on the west side of the River Colne. It features an Early English style layout, with a clerestoried nave, aisles, a chancel, and a tall tower topped by a broach spire that forms a distinctive landmark in the town’s skyline. Though it was declared redundant in 1987 for regular worship, it is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust and continues to be valued both for its architectural beauty and its heritage to the local community.
