Ibstock – did you know?

Interestingly, the toponym Ibstock derives from ‘Ibestoche’ meaning the farmstead or hamlet of Ibba, an Old English personal name also found in other place names across England.
Notably, Ibstock was historically a coal mining village, with mining forming the backbone of the local economy for generations until the industry’s decline in the late 20th century.
What’s more, the Domesday Book of 1086 records Ibstock as a hamlet with six ploughlands, indicating it was a modest agricultural settlement at that time.
Interestingly, St Denys’ Church, the Church of England parish church, was built entirely in the early 14th century in the Decorated Gothic style and remains the village’s most historic building.
Notably, the parish had a long early association with the Cistercian Garendon Abbey, and a grange was held by the abbey in the local area.
What’s more, in the first half of the 14th century the Lord of the Manor was Robert Garshull, whose daughter Elizabeth married into the Stafford family, who held the manor for centuries.
Interestingly, Ibstock is situated on the A447 road between Coalville and Hinckley, providing good transport links across North West Leicestershire.
Notably, the population of the civil parish grew from 5,760 at the 2001 census to over 7,600 by 2021, reflecting significant modern growth of this former mining village.
What’s more, Ibstock Brick is a major company named after the village, although the brickworks that once dominated the area have since been redeveloped.
Finally, the village sits approximately 6 miles south-west of Coalville and 7 miles north-east of Hinckley, in the heart of the National Forest area of Leicestershire.
