Atherstone is five miles away from Nuneaton. Hats have been made here from medieval times and there were many small hat factories in the eighteenth century, and around thirty in nineteenth century. Felt hats were its speciality. The village was called Aderestone in the Domesday Book of 1086 and gives the details that the land was owned by the Countess Godiva.
