The Battle of Maldon, St.Mary, Church Street, Maldon, Essex. CM9 5HN - Stained Glass Windows on Waymarking.com

St.Mary's Church is Grade I listed having been built in the C12th with the tower added in the C14th. There have been various additions since then with the south aisle added in 1885. This stained glass portrayal of the Battle of Maldon has been placed into the second window from the east.

It is a Perpendicular style three-light window and is fully occupied by the image. It was completed in 1992 by Mark Angus to commemorate the millennium of the battle which took place just south of Maldon round about the area of the causeway to Norsea Island, during the reign of Aethelred the Unready. Earl Byrhtnoth and his thegns led the English against a Viking invasion, but the battle ended in an Anglo-Saxon defeat.
