Hinckley has a history going back to Saxon times. The name means the woodland clearing (Old English leah) of a man called Hynca. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, Hinckley was quite a large village, and grew over the course of the following 200 years into a small market town – a market was first recorded there in 1311. In the 17th century the town developed a hosiery industry, producing stockings and similar items.
