The 2.7-metre-high statue of Byrhtnoth, whose army of Anglo-Saxons was defeated by the Viking invasion at the Battle of Maldon in 991 AD, was commissioned by the Maldon Culture Company. After a six-year struggle for planning permission and obtaining funding amounting to £100,000, it was inaugurated on 21st October 2006 by Lord Petre, Lord Lieutenant of Essex, and His Excellency Mr Bjarne Lindstrøm, the Norwegian Ambassador.
