History of Woodborough (Nottinghamshire)

Ancient Origins

• Domesday Book (1086): Woodborough appears as part of a large estate granted to William Peveril, William the Conqueror’s son. The land is believed to include the site of Ulchel’s manor, the precursor to Woodborough Hall. Early ownership passed to the de Wodeburg family, giving rise to the village name.ia601807.us.archive.org+15consandheritage.co.uk+15Pictures of England+15

• The name likely derives from Old English terms for a “fortress in the woods”, and there’s evidence of Bronze Age, Roman, and Anglo-Saxon activity shaping the area.Woodborough Village Preschool

Manor & Church Development

• Post-Conquest, the de Wodeburg family held the manor until it passed by marriage to de Strelley, then to Isabel Bold, and ultimately sold to George Lacock in 1640.Wikipedia+10consandheritage.co.uk+10woodborough-heritage.org.uk+10

• Woodborough Hall was built in 1660 by Philip Lacock and extensively remodeled around 1850 by architect T. C. Hine, who added a third story and a slate roof.Wikipedia+5woodborough-heritage.org.uk+5Woodborough Hall+5

St. Swithun’s Church

• The church is one of the village’s oldest landmarks. Originally built as a Norman church ca. 1150 by Ralf de Wodeburg (earlier foundations still present), it was largely rebuilt and expanded after the Black Death in 1356, with the present chancel dating to 1335, funded by Richard de Strelley.Woodborough Village Preschool+4southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk+4consandheritage.co.uk+4

• It features medieval stained glass, a clock installed in 1854, and intact armorial glass designs from the medieval period.Wikipedia

Framework Knitting & Village Life

• By the early 19th century, Woodborough had become a notable framework-knitting village, with up to 300 frames operating—reflected today by surviving two-storey cottages with characteristic knitter’s windows.Pictures of England+12woodborough-heritage.org.uk+12Wikipedia+12

• The parish grew over time, with an area of nearly 1,900 acres noted in historical records.woodborough-heritage.org.uk+2Wikipedia+2

19th & 20th Century: Transport & Growth

• Local transport evolved from horse-drawn carts to early bus services in the 1920s, including a 22‑seater to Nottingham (fare: 1 shilling each way), later replaced by Barton’s buses offering competitive fares.woodborough-heritage.org.uk

• During World War II, Woodborough Hall served as a military hub—hosting RAF and Army operations, with figures such as RAF AOC Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory stationed on site. The hall also had associations with the founding of MI6, owing to Sir Mansfield Smith-Cumming’s ties to the estate.
