Maplebeck is situated in the rolling countryside
of the Dukeries, in mid-Nottinghamshire. Population
figures as of 2001 census – Maplebeck 74, and with two
recent births, the village now numbers some 96 inhabitants. Maplebeck
is small but beautiful with large mature trees overhanging the lanes and hedge rows.
We have a Church, Public
House, Village
Hall, a
redundant telephone box, a bus shelter, a post box in a wall that
the Posty has to empty on bended knee!

A large Village Green in front of the Church.

There are two workshops nestling behind the houses on the lower part
of the main street towards Caunton. These are accessed from a farm
gate and track .
We only have one road which is named - Church Lane
which is a cul-de-sac.
Each year we hold a Village Garden Fete in an idyllic setting which is quintessentially an English country garden.
In 2012 it will be held on 21st July.
