Background
History
Mansel Lacy is mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter (Sawyer: 1469) from c. 1045, half a hide of which is bought as an estate. It appears as Mælueshylle, probably meaning 'hill on which the mallow grows' from Old English malu + hyll. The village has two entries in the Domesday Book (1086) as Malveselle in the hundred of Stepleset. It is quite small with only 11 households yet is assessed for a relatively large amount of tax of 5 geld units. The church of St Michael and All Angels dates from between the 11th and 13th centuries.
