Holy Trinity Church
Created 21 June, 2008
Holy Trinity Church, built as a chapel of ease to the parish church of Cheshunt in 1832 became the parish church of the new parish of Waltham Cross in 1855. The exterior is brick in the perpendicular style. The interior is plain, almost austere, and the original chapel consisted of a nave and chancel only. The stained glass patterned windows date from 1878; the only pictorial glass is in two windows, one in memory of Sir Henry Bruce Meux, the other to the Rev. H. N. Eales who was vicar from 1911 to 1920.
The vestry was added in 1906. The lady chapel and organ, originally built in 1898 and obtained from a church at Old Windsor, were added in 1915 when the chancel was rebuilt. A hanging cross, formerly part of a chancel screen is suspended from a beam before the chancel arch and was put there in 1957 in memory of Thomas Best who was verger from 1898 to 1953. The porch and nave were restored in 1933, the old galleries being removed at the same time.
