Shepshed Dynamo F
Shepshed (often known until 1888 as ''Sheepshed'', also ''Sheepshead'' – a name derived from the village being heavily involved in the wool industry) is a market town and civil parish in the Charnwood Borough of Leicestershire, England with a population of 14,875 at the 2021 census. It is the third largest settlement in the borough, after Loughborough and Leicester. History Origins The town originally grew as a centre for the wool trade. There has been controversy about the origin of the name of the town. The earliest form is ''Scepeshefde Regis'' as mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, which means "(King's) hill where sheep graze", but since then there have been many changes until the present form, Shepshed, was adopted in 1888.

Very little information about the settlement on the site of Shepshed appears before the Domesday Book but the name is certainly Anglo-Saxon: local histor ...
