An old mortuary building is to get a novel new lease of life.
Volunteers plan to set up a social group just for men, where they can learn handicrafts and use power tools at Maldon Cemetery.
The Men’s Shed will be for over 18s and is thought to be the first in Essex.
The idea originated in Australia.
It is hoped the Men’s Shed will open next summer, if Maldon District Community Voluntary Services can get the funding.
