It was part of the home built in 1420 for Sir Robert D'arcy, a well-connected lawyer, MP representing Maldon and the King's Escheator for Essex. His great-grandson, Sir Thomas D'Arcy, sold off the family estate, and the Maldon Borough Corporation purchased the brick tower in 1576 to become their Moot Hall. It has stayed in the ownership of the people of Maldon ever since.
