[6] During the English Civil War, Sheepy provided free quarter and horses to troops from the parliamentary garrisons from north Warwickshire.

In June 1646, Gregory Kent, the parish clerk, submitted a claim for losses to the Warwickshire County Committee, including claims for free quarter for about a hundred horses and men under the command of Captain Flower and Captain Ottway of the Coventry garrison.

The offender was probably Richard Burbidge, garrison quartermaster at Edgbaston Hall under Colonel Tinker Fox.

The village of Sheepy has one public house The Black Horse whilst Sibson has The Cock Inn (currently closed) and Millers Hotel, Sheepy Parva is home to an Italian restaurant called San Giovanni's whilst Upton has Upton Barn Caravaning, Camping and Fishing and Leicestershire Cheese Company.
