DNA Net­works is a net­work of Chris­t­ian com­mu­ni­ties based in Colch­ester, Essex. We are a sim­ple organ­ic church, oper­at­ing through net­works of rela­tion­ships, and seek to wel­come all into the com­mu­ni­ty of faith in Jesus.

We began in 2001 as a church plant­i­ng ini­tia­tive and have devel­oped into a vibrant com­mu­ni­ty of faith with a wide range of mis­sion units and infor­mal net­works over­seas. We seek the dynam­ic of the Holy Spir­it as we cre­ate and build com­mu­ni­ties of faith. Ours is a new expres­sion of spir­i­tu­al­i­ty and mis­sion, draw­ing from the wells of two mil­len­nia of liv­ing sto­ries, embed­ded in Colch­ester and the UK.

Our pur­pose is sim­ple. We pro­vide the sys­tems and the tech­ni­cal know-how to help our cus­tomers excel, work­ing with them to make a dif­fer­ence for the lives of mil­lions of peo­ple and the teams who serve them.

We help organ­i­sa­tions around the world use dig­i­tal tech­nol­o­gy and automa­tion to sus­tain and improve vital ser­vices, achiev­ing key out­comes for our cus­tomers in response to ris­ing social, demo­graph­ic and eco­nom­ic pres­sures. Civi­ca has a strong track record as one of the fastest grow­ing providers of our kind, dri­ven by a clear strat­e­gy to help our cus­tomers address sus­tained and sig­nif­i­cant change and to trans­form the way they work.

Find­ing the right cov­er, whichev­er way works best for you! You wouldn’t go to a mechan­ic who didn’t know a sock­et wrench from a screw­driv­er, so why would you come to an insur­ance com­pa­ny who doesn’t know their field inside out? At Tow­er­gate, we keep our fin­ger on the pulse of the insur­ance world and con­stant­ly seek out ways to inno­vate and bet­ter serve our customers.

The Town Hall, set in a pop­u­lar town cen­tre loca­tion, is a beau­ti­ful and pres­ti­gious build­ing rich with his­to­ry and is the third Town Hall to have been built on this site. The first Town Hall, known as the Moot Hall, was built around 1160 and remained for 700 years.

The need for exten­sive accom­mo­da­tion was required after this time, and sub­se­quent­ly, the Vic­to­ri­an Town Hall was com­plet­ed in 1845. This design last­ed but fifty years as again the Coun­cil had out­grown the facilities.

The last Baroque design, which is the cur­rent mod­el, was com­plet­ed by John Belch­er in 1897 and opened in 1902. The promi­nent 162ft Vic­to­ri­an tow­er was pre­sent­ed by indus­tri­al­ist James Pax­man with a stat­ue at the top of St Hele­na, Colchester’s patron saint.

Open­ing times may change due to events. Please con­tact the Town Hall them­selves for fur­ther enquires.
