Manuden is a village and parish in north-western Essex. It is located around 3½ miles north of Bishop's Stortford, in neighbouring Hertfordshire, and around eight miles south-west of Saffron Walden. The village has its own parish council.[2]

Part of Manuden is designated as a conservation area,[3] with several listed buildings in and around the village.[4]
The local church is St Mary the Virgin. A tablet within the church commemorates the Jacobean statesman and diplomat William Wade, who spent his retirement at Battles Hall in the village, and is buried in the church.[2]
