Holy Trinity is the oldest surviving church building in Colchester. The church is located on Trinity Street in the town centre. Parts of the church tower are believed to date to around 1020 (the Anglo-Saxon period) and an earlier church building may have existed on the site. In particular, there is a unique pointed Saxon doorway in the West side of the tower. The churchyard contains the burial places of William Gilbert, discoverer of electro-magneticism and physician to Queen Elizabeth I, and John Wilbye, the composer.
