ONE of England’s oldest public libraries has been awarded a massive grant of more than £60,000 to help with repairs. Thomas Plume’s Library in Maldon, which contains more than 8,000 volumes dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, will receive a grant of £67,962 for the repair of Grade I listed building from Historic England. The library was built on the site of the former church of St Peter of which only the 15th century west tower remains following the collapse of the church nave in around 1665. The Plume Library was added to Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register in 2020.
