This library was founded in 1704 in accordance with the will of Dr Thomas Plume. It holds a very impressive number of books totalling 8000. This is a private library, but the books may be viewed during normal opening hours, well worth a visit.

Thomas Plume's library is situated at the top of Market Hill in Maldon. There are exhibitions of Maldon and things of interest going back over many years. There is a little gift section and I found it very interesting to look back in time.

This is well worth a visit - very interesting and very helpful and friendly staff. We thought at first that the building was a church. We enjoyed the tapestry along with the other exhibits. We also bought some Maldon salt in their shop!
