History

Mansel Lacy is mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter (Sawyer: 1469) from c. 1045, half a hide of which is bought as an estate.[3][4] It appears as Mælueshylle, probably meaning 'hill on which the mallow grows' from Old English malu + hyll.[5]

The village has two entries in the Domesday Book (1086) as Malveselle in the hundred of Stepleset. It is quite small with only 11 households yet is assessed for a relatively large amount of tax of 5 geld units.[6]
