Mavesyn Ridware is a small, predominantly rural parish in the district of Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. Its name recalls medieval manorial origins - derived from the Norman Malvoisin family - and the landscape still shows that past in a scatter of timber‑framed cottages, a medieval parish church and remnants of a manor estate set among mixed farmland and hedged lanes.
Today the area is quiet and agricultural, attractive to walkers and people seeking countryside living with relatively easy access to the cathedral city of Lichfield. Local life centres on village events, a number of listed buildings and rural pursuits; many residents commute to nearby towns while the parish retains a strong sense of historic character and community.
