Waltham Holy Cross Urban District

Waltham Holy Cross was an urban district in the county of Essex, England.

The large ancient parish of Waltham Holy Cross adopted the Public Health Act 1848 and the Waltham Holy Cross Local Board of Health was formed in 1850.[2] The district of the board included the town of Waltham Abbey as well as the hamlets of Holyfield, High Beach, Sewardstone and Upshire. The district was bounded on the west by the River Lea and contained a large part of Epping Forest.

The local government district became an urban district in 1894.
