Barwell history
In old English, “wella” is the word for stream and “bar” the name for boar. In 1043, Earl Leofric and his wife, Godiva, established a Benedictine Abbey at Coventry and gave the Abbot and his twenty-four attendant monks lands for their upkeep. Barwelle was still held by the Abbey of Coventry following the Norman Conquest. In 1564 there were 48 families living in Barwell, according to a church census.
