*************

Waltham Abbey is a market town of about 20,400 people in the south west of the county of Essex 24 km (15 mi) NNE of London on the Greenwich Meridian, between the River Lea in the west and Epping Forest in the east. It takes its name from the Scheduled Ancient Monument Abbey Church of Waltham Holy Cross, which was prominent in the early history of the town. The ancient parish covering Waltham Abbey was known as Waltham Holy Cross. The town is in the District of Epping Forest, has its own town council and is twinned with the German town of Hörstel.

The Abbey Church of Waltham Holy Cross and St Lawrence has been a place of worship since the 7th century. The present building dates mainly from the early 12th century and is a fine example of Norman architecture. The church gives its name to the town of Waltham Abbey, Essex in England. Harold Godwinson is said to be buried in the present churchyard. In the late middle ages, Waltham was one of the largest church buildings in England and a major site of pilgrimage; in 1540 was the last religious community to be closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is still an active parish church for the town.
