| Past, Present & Future |
Welcome to maxey.co.uk, the community web site for the village of Maxey, Cambridgeshire, UK. Located between Peterborough & Stamford it is home to nearly 700 residents.
Originally part of Northamptonshire, Maxey can trace it's 'modern' roots back over 1,000 years. However, archaeological excavation of the area has provided ample evidence of continuous occupation for over 4,000 years.
The main focal points are the one remaining Public House (Blue Bell), the Church (St. Peters) & the Village Hall. Each provides a range of social functions throughout the year. There are a surprising number of businesses based in the village, including a few working farms. |
