[2] Maulden is referred to in the Domesday Book as Meldone and the meanings ascribed to the various versions of the name include "cross on the hill", "high down" and "place of meeting".

Each year the Maulden Players perform a pantomime with contributions from many members of the village and surrounding communities.

Maulden Baptist Church also runs a number of clubs; including a 'Mums and Tots', youth groups for children (8–18), and more.

This gallery was quite large, and because of the low roof came down to only two feet above the tops of the pews underneath, as well as blocking the light from two of the windows.

There was a south entrance with a porch, and a doorway in the north wall, next to the passageway to the Ailesbury mausoleum.

The bell tower is in active use and includes a mechanical Westminster "chime" which is a distinctive sound in the village.

In 2021, following the COVID-19 pandemic the remaining few members approached the leaders of nearby King's Church Flitwick, asking to come under their oversight.

The living was a rectory, valued in the King's books at £15.9.7; net income £512; patron, the Marquess of Ailesbury.

To the northeast, Maulden Wood stretches over to the ancient road, the A6 and there is a Saxon boundary marker behind the church.

Directly north lies Kings Wood and to the Northwest is Houghton House on the Bedfordshire Greensand Ridge Path.

Maulden was referred to in the Local, National and International Media in March 2017 following a formal complaint (under the Clergy Discipline Measure) lodged with the Bishop of St Albans regarding alleged misrepresentations made by the Rector in a Court of Law (the Consistory Court of the Diocese) and to others.
