Halstead is a rural town located in Essex, England, near Colchester and Sudbury. It is situated mainly on a hill. The name Halstead is derived from the Old English hald (refuge, shelter) and stede (site, place), meaning 'safe place' or 'place of refuge'.
Halstead has been home to several well-known authors, such as J. Daniel Cooper (writer of Tales of Ereth), Sheila Jacobs (writer of various Christian novels, including Watchers) and David Sugden (writer of The Jacob Coburn Mysteries). Its main attractions include a local Antiques Mill, the location of filming for some episodes of the television programme, Lovejoy.
