Did you know that All Saints in Maldon has the only triangular church tower in Britain? The decidedly strange late-Norman design is topped incongruously with a hexagonal spire. Various suggestions have been made to explain the triangular form: the need to fit in with the adjoining roadways; a French influence; that it's a symbolic reflection of the Trinity; and we should not forget that maybe it seemed like a good idea in the pub.
