      Anglo-Saxon origins


      The village was included in the Domesday Book, under the name 'Bugedone' and was worth 40 shillings per year to the King. 'Bugedone', is a combination of the Old English female personal name 'Bucga' and the word 'dun' (meaning 'a hill, a flat-topped hill, an open upland expanse'). It is one of the older villages in Leicestershire since it has Anglo-Saxon origins (it is older than the much larger market town of Market Harborough, which lies nearby). Great Bowden was the centre of a large soke, which is known to have existed during the time of Edward the Confessor.


      Parish


      The first mention of a parish church in Great Bowden was in 1220. St Peter and St Paul, the current parish church, includes features from the 13th century, but it was considerably altered in the 15th century. In 1886-87 the building was restored by Talbot Brown and Fisher, architects from Wellingborough. The churchyard contain gravestones that date from the 17th century.
      The Great Bowden parish historically included Market Harborough and parts of St Mary in Arden. In 1613, St Mary in Arden was unified with Market Harborough The chapelry of Market Harborough was made a separate civil parish in 1866.
      In 1879 Great Bowden, Market Harborough and Little Bowden were united as a local government district. Such districts were reconstituted as urban districts in 1894. Great Bowden remained a civil parish until 1927, but as an urban parish it had no parish council of its own, instead being administered directly by Market Harborough Urban District Council. The three parishes within the urban district were combined into a single parish of Market Harborough in 1927.
      Market Harborough Urban District and civil parish were abolished in 1974 and the area become part of the larger Harborough District. A new parish of Great Bowden, focussed on the village itself, was created in 1995 covering a much smaller area than the historic parish.
