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.

Leebotwood geography / climate

Leebotwood is located on the A49 road, north of Church Stretton and south of Dorrington. The Welsh Marches railway line runs through the parish, and there was once a small railway station. The parish was part of the borough of Shrewsbury and Atcham, which existed 1973–2009.
