The village of Maulds Meaburn is one of the prettiest settlements in the whole of East Cumbria. Though the area has been settled since prehistoric times, virtually all of the existing buildings were constructed between 1620 and 1850. The village is bisected by the tiny River Lyvenet. It is virtually joined to neighbouring Crosby Ravensworth, another attractive village. The hamlet of King's Meaburn is located two miles to the North.
The manor of Meaburn is divided into two seperate villages - King's Meaburn and Maulds Meaburn. It was one of the properties of Hugh de Morville, who took a leading part in the murder of Thomas à Becket. For this he forfeited some of his land, and as a result, the northern part of the manor reverted to the Crown, and the remainder was granted to Hugh's sister, Maud.
