A short history of Oadby
Oadby began as an Anglian settlement in the early Anglo-Saxon period and a pagan Anglian cemetery shows it existed before its Danish name. Danish rule lasted until 920. The Domesday Book of 1086 records Oldebi, which William the Conqueror gave to Hugh de Grandmesnil, who founded the parish church on the site of St Peter's. Roger held one and a half carucates while Countess Judith held nine carucates and two bovates with 46 socmen, eleven bordars and three serfs. Sir John Lombe bought the manor in 1629. Oadby became a suburb for Leicester businessmen in the late 19th century. The North Memorial Homes opened in 1927. Of 13 listed buildings two are Grade II*: the Church of St Peter and The Knoll with attached Stables.
