Barwell is a civic parish and a major village in Leicestershire, England, population about 8,750, rising to 9,022 in the 2011 census. The name translates literally to “stream of boar” and is said to have originated with the boar who once drunk from the well next to a stream at Barwell. It was initially known as Borewell, but then became “Barwell”, a name used to this day. The stream is now called the Tweed, a tributary of the Trent. There are two churches in the village; the Methodist Barwell church on Chapel Street, and the St. Marys, Barwell Church on Church Lane.

St Marys was built in the 1220s. A wallboard in the church lists every vicar to date, starting with William in 1209. The village has successful football clubs, Barwell Football Club and AFC Barwell, and also has cricket teams and a large indoor batting compound. The Queens Head is the oldest public house, the second oldest structure in the village.

In 1902, one Sarah Anne Bowers owned the pub. It was then owned by the Haines family.

In more recent years, the roof of the old bar has deformed naturally, and is not straight anymore. In the 1980s, the front of the building was fully restored, returning it to its original style after years of Victorian-style black-and-white.

It was located in the grounds of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, a wealthy and influential magnate, who had fought with Canute in his wars against Wessex. In Old English, “wella” is a word for stream, and “bar” is a word for pig, so that this clearing of wood was known as the Barwelle in Saxon.

In 1043, Earl Leofric and his wife, Godiva, founded the Benedictine monastery of Coventry, and gave land to its abbot and twenty-four monks who attended it. Barwell, together with nineteen other villages, passed under the lordship of the Abbot at Coventry. After the Norman Conquest, Barwelle was still held by the Abbot of Coventry.

By 1086, the population was 14 people, including a curate, and three yeomen, who had two ploughs; one plough was an area of land which could be tilled with one oxen crew. There was 1 acre (1 furlong by 1 furlong) meadow, and woodland of 3 furlongs by 1 league (604 by 5,556 m). The cost of which was 30s. (PS1.50). The Barwell manor, described in the Domesday Book as an “ancient demesne”, was subsequently granted to Hugh de Hastings, the Steward and favorite of Henry I, and held as an interest, together with several other local manors, by the Priory of Coventry, in payment for service by a knight.
