Stewards will be on every floor to explain the features & history of the building. The Moot Hall is a 15th century brick tower, known originally as the D'arcy tower. It was part of the home built in 1420 for Sir Robert D'arcy, a well connected lawyer, MP representing Maldon and the King's Escheator for Essex. His great grandson Sir Thomas D'Arcy sold off the family estate and the Maldon Borough Corporation purchased the brick tower in 1576 to become their Moot Hall. It has stayed in the ownership of the people of Maldon ever since.
