Holy Trinity Church

Needs to be used. Lovely historic site

Another architectural marvel in the Town centre , Holy Trinity Church is the Colchester’s only surviving Saxon building with a distinctive tower which has survived ages. The Church has the tomb of many prominent figures. This Church is closed now and if I’m correct de-consecrated as well.There are plans to renovate and covert this Church into a Community Hub.

An outstanding Saxon tower, built from local septaria and Roman ruins, best viewed walking up Trinity Street. I could just imagine walking up there, seeing it in Saxon times.

Has an amazing Late-Saxon (early 11th Century) tower with cute arrow-shaped doorway.

Whilst personally not a religious man, I am always impressed with how pretty this little church is. It lies very central in Colchester town, ignored by many who pass by. Today the purple crocuses looked beautiful.
