The Battle of Maldon – What Really Happened On the banks of the Blackwater in AD 991? This is one of the most celebrated episodes in Anglo-Saxon history, immortalised in a famous poem telling how Earl Byrhtnoth allowed Viking raiders to cross the causeway before suffering a devastating defeat. But, how much of this heroic story is fact, and how much is legend? On Thursday 5th November, Stephen Nunn will explore the evidence behind the battle and challenge some long-held assumptions: The traditionally accepted battlefield at Northey Island may not be the site where the battle was actually fought. Doors open at 6:30 pm.

In 1940, as the threat of N**i invasion was at its height, Winston Churchill authorised the creation of the highly secret Auxiliary Units. Made up of specially trained local volunteers, they were prepared to remain behind enemy lines and carry out sabotage and intelligence operations to delay and disrupt an occupying force.
Essex was an important part of this clandestine network.

The county headquarters was established at Kelvedon, with a secret Operational Base at Beeleigh Mill near Maldon.

Dr Hugh Frostick will uncover the story of these remarkable wartime volunteers, their secret activities and the evidence revealing the important role played by Essex in Britain’s preparations for invasion.
