History of Kidderminster
The town is best known for its manufacture of carpets from about 1735, though much reduced recently. The carpet industry developed as a diversification within a well established cloth industry
The earliest written form of the name Kidderminster is in Domesday Book of 1086. It was a large manor held by King William with 16 outlying settlements
The place name indicates a much earlier existence. ‘Minster’ is a Saxon word for a monastery or large church. Scholars now believe that a charter of the year 736, whereby King Aethelbald of Mercia granted land for the creation of a monastery, referred to the Kidderminster area.
