Bath Wall, Maldon!

People enjoying a stroll along the Bath Wall at Maldon! The statue at the end of the Bath Wall is of Byrhtnoth, a fierce Anglo Saxon warrior, and it commemorates Maldon’s most famous moment in history, the Battle of Maldon in AD991. His death, while leading the Anglo-Saxon forces against the Vikings in 991, is the subject of the famous Old English poem 'Battle of Maldon'. The statue was created by John Doubleday.
