Background
History
In 1086, as recorded in the Domesday Book, the village was an estate of the Bishop of Hereford and held by Roger de Lacy, which is where the "Lacy" affix comes from. De Lacy was a Lord of the manor, indicating that a feudal system was in existence during the Middle Ages. It was in Dinedor hundred in Herefordshire. William I of England had returned Hamme to Bishop Walter and in 1086 the total population included: The presence of a priest is likely to indicate that there was a church at Holme Lacy. There were also two ploughs under the lordship's tenure in existence.
