Description
Great Haywood's rich history spans centuries, from its foundation by Angles in the sixth century to its role as an important centre in the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on four great highways of travel and trade has allowed it to witness significant events throughout English history.
The village has seen the migration of early settlers, the passage of powerful kings and queens, large armies, rich merchants, and eminent travellers and writers. It has also been home to a diverse range of notable individuals, including those from the worlds of politics, art, and literature.
From its involvement in major historical events such as the overthrow of Richard II, the Wars of the Roses, and the English Civil War, to its connections with famous works like The Faerie Queene and The Lord of the Rings, Great Haywood's history is full of fascinating stories waiting to be uncovered.
