About

“Maeldune” is the Saxon spelling of Maldon and means “a cross on the hill”. The Centre is run by the Maeldune Trust, a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation, in partnership with Maldon Town Council. The Maeldune Trust comprises representatives of The Town Council, The Maldon Society, the Maldon Twinning Association, and other notable local organisations.

The Heritage Centre is home to the Maldon Embroidery, a masterpiece 42ft in length created to celebrate 1000 years of Maldon’s history from the Battle of Maldon in 991 to the unveiling of the Embroidery in 1991.

The Maldon Society’s photographic and video archives are available to view at the Centre, including a video interview with the designer of the Embroidery, Humphrey Spender.

The Maldon Society’s Oral Listening Station is situated at the Centre with stories of the embroidery and archive photographs of local history.
