Bulkington history
Medieval
The early history of Bulkington can be traced in Domesday Book where it is mentioned as among the estates of the Count of Meulan, overseen by his sub-tenant Salo. By the late 13th century the centre of the manor had moved to Weston-in-Arden. The manor house Weston Hall was substantially renovated in c.1892, and after serving for a time as a night club in the 1970s and 1980s, now functions as a hotel.
Early modern
In 1766 700 acres (2.8 km) of common land were enclosed at Ryton, and 4 years later enclosure was applied to the remainder of land in Bulkington, totalling 1,600 acres (6.5 km) Because of this, ribbon weaving replaced or replaced agriculture as the main source of income for the majority of the population. The late 18th century and early 19th century was a period of significant growth for the village, with its population almost tripling in size.
Recent developments and conservation
Speculative private housing development began in the 1930s and by the 1960s surrounded the village with expansive suburban areas. In 1968 a new east-west distributor road linking School Road and Bedworth Road replaced an ancient footpath. This development divorced the Church from Church Street; further road developments led to the demolition of many of the buildings in the historic precinct. The remaining historic buildings were threatened with demolition which led directly to the creation of the Bulkington Conservation Area in 1985.
