Leebotwood history
Leebotwood’s parish church (St Mary’s) dates from the 12th century. It is the burial place of the Corbett family of Longnor Hall, the local lords of the manor. The eastern boundary of the village was formed from the ancient route of Watling Street which is still visible today.
Etymology
The whole area was covered in thick forest, called “Botwde” (as the area was recorded in the Domesday Book) or “Bottewode” until later in medieval times. Henry II granted this area to Augustinian canons with a chapel at Lega – hence the placename of Lega in Bottewode. Nearby, in the parish of Church Stretton, is Botvyle which also derives its name from the historic forest.
