King's Meaburn
King's Meaburn is a small village and civil parish in Cumbria, of 105 inhabitants. It is located from Appleby-in-Westmorland and from Penrith, in the Lyvennet Valley, and is famous for its annual Beer Festival at The White Horse.
==History==
King's Meaburn was thought to be an Anglo-Saxon settlement in the 7th and 8th centuries. This idea is reinforced by the fact that Meaburn is an Anglo-Saxon name. The name is derived from ”Meadburn”, which means “meadow by a stream”.
The name King's Meaburn goes back to the 12th century. The King at the time, Henry II, gave part of the village’s lands to Sir Hugh de Morville, and the other part to his sister, Maud de Veteripont. Sir Hugh eventually fell out of favour with the King, after which the King reclaimed Sir Hugh’s section of the land, and hence the name King's Meaburn. The land that belonged to Maud was and to this day (September 2008) is called Maulds Meaburn.
One notable event in the village was in 1745 when Charles Edward Stuart aka Bonnie Prince Charlie and some of his soldiers crossed the ford in the village on their way to rendezvous with more of his troops in Shap.
