More about Oadby Leicestershire
Oadby is an unincorporated town in Leicestershire,
England, within the district of Oadby and Wigston. It is
to the east of Wigston Magna, and to the south-east of
Leicester. It runs directly into the conurbation, and is
situated on the A6.
The town is most famous for Leicester Racecourse,
situated on the border between Oadby and Leicester, and
the University of Leicester's Botanical Gardens. It is
also the home of the Beauchamp College, and halls of
residence for the University of Leicester. John Deacon,
bass player of the influential rock group Queen, was
born and grew up in Oadby.
The local football club Oadby Town F.C. play in the
Midland Football Alliance league.
There has been a habitation in Oadby since an Anglian
settlement in the year 550. In 1760, on Brocks Hill,
evidence of an Anglian burial ground was discovered.
Oadby is one of seventy Danish settlements in
Leicestershire ending with "-by", which means village or
settlement. Its name likeliest came from Old Norse
Auoarb? = "Auoi's settlement". Danish rule continued
until 920, when King Alfred the Great won his battles
against the Danes. The Oadby area is supposed to be the
site of at least one of these battles.
In 1086, Oadby's name was recorded as Aldebi. The name
then changed to Oladebi, Outherby, Onderby and, finally,
Oadby.
When King Harold was defeated, William the Conqueror
gave Oadby to Hugh de Grentmaisnil, Governor of
Leicestershire, who founded the parish church of Oadby
on the site of the present St Peter's Church.
Oadby remained a small settlement until the late
nineteenth century when it became a fashionable suburb
for the factory-owners of Leicester's shoe and stocking
manufacturers. Many substantial houses were built, some
of which are now used by the University of Leicester.
Leicester's trams terminated at the edge of the city, as
the A6 entered Oadby.
Expansion of Oadby took place rapidly in the twentieth
century and is still continuing in 2006. Many
residential developments have been constructed so that
the population in 2001 reached 22,729.
Oadby today is a predominantly residential area. The
success of Beauchamp College makes Oadby an attractive
location for families with children.
As is increasingly the case throughout Leicestershire,
Oadby boasts a high level of ethnic diversity. In 2001
approximately 11% of the population identified
themselves as Hindu and 6% as Muslim.
Major employers in Oadby are the schools, Asda,
Sainsburys and the shops in the centre of the town.
Invicta Plastics remains in Oadby, where they once
manufactured the popular Mastermind Game. The red noses
for the annual Red Nose Day appeal of the Comic Relief
charity are also made by Invicta in Oadby.
