Maldon United Reformed Church, Market Hill
Most Non-Conformist chapels are quite humble buildings, but you could hardly say that of this one. What is more, it occupies rather a fine site - set well back from the street, high on the hill and looking out over the rooftops on the other side of the Chelmer. Part of the graveyard, steeply sloping, is overgrown - and slightly creepy. There are 19th century tomb-chests and obelisks here which are grander than you might expect in a small Essex port - there must have been some 'substantial citizens' among the Non-Conformist congregation.
In my very out-of-date copy of the Essex Pevsner ('The Buildings of England: Essex') this building is listed as a Congregational church.

Maldon United Reformed Church, Market Hill (2)
Formerly the Congregational church. According to the listing, in its present form it dates from about 1860, but stands on the site of an earlier chapel: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-464933-united-reformed-church-maldon-essex
To the north (left in this picture) the ground drops away quite steeply towards the river. The slope must be hard to mow, and in places the churchyard is a picturesque tangle.

Tower, St. Peter's Church, Maldon
In the seventeenth century Thomas Plume started the Plume Library to house over 7,000 books printed between 1470 and his death in 1704; the collection has been added to at various times since 1704. The Plume Library is to be found at St. Peter's Church. Only the original Tower survives, the rest of the building having been rebuilt by Thomas Plume to house his library (on the first floor) and Maldon Grammar School (on the ground floor)

Market Hill, Maldon (1)
The upper end of the street, seen at about 3.45 on an afternoon in late October.
The railings are necessary here, because the narrow pavement rises substantially above the level of the roadway.
