Maidenwell is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 6 miles (10 km) south from Louth. The village population is included in the civil parish of Burwell.

History

A Prehistoric or Roman trackway and settlement has been identified through the village.^[1]^[2] and several Neolithic burials, including a typical early long barrow.^[3]

The village of Maidenwell, separately assessed in documents of 1334, was united with Farforth parish in 1450 or possibly 1592. Maidenwell was probably depopulated about 1400-28. Significant earthworks of the former medieval settlement were still traceable in the 20th century.^[4]
