Atherstone has a long and colourful history dating back to Roman times. An important defended Roman settlement named Manduessedum existed at Mancetter, near the site of modern day Atherstone. The Roman road, “the A5”, originally Watling Street, ran through the town. It is believed by some historians that the rebel Queen of the Britons, Boudica, was defeated at the Battle of Watling Street by the Romans in her final battle near Manduessedum.
