Owned by Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester and given by him to the Nuns of Chaise-Dieu.

On the 'Dissolution' the Manor passed to Sir Marmaduke Constable retaining its separate constitution.

The centre of Attleborough has a village feel to it and contains a number of shops, restaurants, takeaways and pubs.

The Holy Trinity Church of England was built in 1842,[1] as a Chapel of Ease of Nuneaton St. Nicholas.

Other industrial estates in the area include Trident Business Park (on Holman Way, off Park Street) and the industrial estates off Caldwell Road (although, strictly speaking, these are in Chilvers Coton rather than Attleborough).
