Further, he was Superintendent Registrar and for many years the offices of Maples & Son were the Registry Office for Spalding and District; the last link between these organisations only ceasing in 2005, so that many Registry Office weddings were conducted in our building.
The founder was followed by his son, also Ashley Maples (1837-1876) who originally went into Partnership with his father. His death in 1977 (at the age of 79) brought an end to over 140 years of involvement by the family with the firm across five generations.

I can only commend Maples solicitors whom I have found to be diligent, caring and supportive through many transactions and whenever my family or I have needed advice. They have always been totally professional with excellent follow up care to give the client complete confidence. Appointments never feel rushed and the greatest care is always taken to properly explain and discuss everything. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the help and advice I have received.
