Manningtree has an interesting local library housed in the town's former Corn Exchange, along the High Street. It's a historically important building, notable for its columnated steps & very high windows at the front. There's a rear door intended for disabled access, due to the inconvenient steps to the main doors. Its local history book section, contained in a corner is small, but manages to shelve many long out of print classics. These include books otherwise unobtainable to the researcher, by locally important personalities, such as 'The Escaped Nun', Margaret Mary Moult, & Dedham artist & horseman, Sir Alfred Munnings. Reference books also include works about the locally active Thames barges, once to be found moored at nearby Mistley Packet Quay. There's also a free entry local history museum on-site, (but it doesn't open as frequently as the main public library section, mostly Saturday...)

Lovely library . Good range of books and fantastic for children and lots of thoughtful activities for them. This was nearly closed due to proposed gov cutbacks so worth using. Staff are wonderful to and always friendly and willing to help

Manningtree library is the jewel in the crown for the town. I love going and before lock down there was so much to do there. We are still fighting to save the library from closure. We need it more than ever in these uncertain times.
