Welcome to Maiden Law

Maiden Law is a small village located in the county of Durham, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles east of Durham city and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is home to a small community of around 200 people and has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. The name Maiden Law is believed to have originated from the Old English words 'maiden' meaning 'young woman' and 'hlaw' meaning 'hill', which suggests that the village was once a place where young women gathered.

One of the most notable features of Maiden Law is the St. Cuthbert's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and impressive architecture. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village. Another notable feature of Maiden Law is the Maiden Law Hall, which is a large country house that was built in the 18th century. The hall is now a private residence and is not open to the public, but its impressive architecture can still be admired from the outside.

Despite its small size, Maiden Law has a strong sense of community and is home to a number of local businesses and amenities. The village has a primary school, a post office, and a village hall, which is used for a variety of community events and activities. There are also several local pubs and restaurants, which serve traditional English food and drink. Maiden Law is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Durham.
