THE STORY
OF
MAIDENS BARN
For over 200 years Maidens Farm has been in our family. The Elm Barn was used for storing hay, grain and potatoes over the years until 1975. Over the years the Elm Barn became dilapidated and it suffered major damage in the 1987 storm. At this point discussions were had to take it down, but in the end it was pulled up right by tractors! Clive and Katherine decided in 1999 to refurbish the Barn ready for a significant birthday in 2001. After that, having got so far we decided to open as a wedding venue. Maidens Barn has now been running for 19 years. Alex, Katherines son joined the company in 2013 and worked alongside Clive & Katherine and now he and his wife Sam are running Maidens Barn.
