In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Maen like this:
MAEN, or MAYEN, a village in Sennen parish, Cornwall; 1¾ mile E of Lands-End, and 9 WSW of Penzance. A block of granite, called Table-Maen, preserved here, is said to have been used at a picnic dinner by three Saxon kings, when visiting Lands-End.
Maen is now part of CORNWALL Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CORNWALL has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Maen itself, go to Statistics.
