    Maldon's history
    Maldon was one of only two boroughs in Essex recorded in the Domesday Book 1086 AD.

    The Police Station was built in 1912 and sits near the top of High Street.

    Maldon is a wonderful place to visit. High Street begins at the wharf, curves uphill and ends near the Police Station, continuing on as London Road.

    The 1841 Census shows the Stratford family living at High Street.

    The inscription on the water trough in front of the church reads: "In memory of a good woman who lived and died in this town."

    After making the Atlantic voyage from England to New York, then crossing the United States until reaching Kanesville, Iowa, George Stratford died of typhoid fever and was buried somewhere near here, probably in one of the other cemeteries in the area.

    One of the guides at the Kanesville Tabernacle in Council Bluffs told us that the original burial records had been lost, possibly deliberately destroyed, after the Latter-day Saints left the area. Fairview Cemetery holds Mormon pioneer graves.
