MAIDEN

MAIDEN. A parish on the borders of Wilts and Somerset, better known as Maiden-Bradley. There is also a MaidenNewton in CO. Dorset; and in Scotland various places bear this designation. But it would apiear that the name was sometimes used as a sobriquet, for in the H.R. we find one Adam le Maiden.
