Loxley, Warwickshire

[1] Loxley gave its name to a hall of residence at the University of Warwick, within the Westwood campus.

The settlement is first mentioned in the late 8th century, as King Offa of Mercia gave it to Worcester Cathedral.

The Domesday Book records the community as including a resident priest.

In 1538, Loxley manor was owned by Robert Croft, later passing to the Underhill family and in 1664 to Edward Nash of East Greenwich.

[3] Historian David Baldwin in his Robin Hood: The English Outlaw Unmasked (2010) proposed Roger Godberd, who is buried in Loxley.
