Gerry Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 The name of Lutterworth is probably derived from the Old Norse name "Lutter's Vordig" meaning Luther's Farm.[2] Lutterworth was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.[3] The town was granted its Market Charter in 1214 by King John and continues to hold a market to this day.[4] In the 14th century religious reformer Canon John Wyclif was Rector in Lutterworth's Parish Church of St. Mary between 1374 and 1384, and it was here that he is traditionally believed to have produced the first ever translation of the Bible from Latin into English.[5] Lutterworth's biblical connections continue as it houses the British Isles headquarters of Gideons International.[6] It's going to be great :yahoo: .
