The Moot Hall Maldon
The Moot Hall, 41 High Street, Maldon, Essex, CM9 5PF
For 2025 we are telling the stories of two local women Katharine Courtauld and Henrietta Sadd, whose fathers were prominent in the town of Maldon during the Victorian / Edwardian periods. They both came from non-conformist families, their fathers were MPs, employers, politicians and magistrates and both women were lesbians, living with their partners in non-traditional families. It is important, as a venue that provides space for same-sex weddings, that we show how far back the Moot Hall has supported its LGBTQ patrons.
A visit to Moot Hall will include the ground floor Committee Room which is the old Police Station, and Prison Yard, then climbing a regency stair case to the Court Room, Jury Room and Balcony. From there a steep spiral staircase takes you to the ancient Council Chamber with display marking the Courtauld and Sadd family links to Maldon, as well as the Muniment Room before a final push takes you up to the roof with its panoramic views over the Maldon District.
