Formerly known as the Wood Box ( Wooden Box , in honor of a wooden stand on a toll road between Ashby de la Zoch and Burton upon Trent . The name Woodville first appeared in a leaflet in honor of laying the first stone in the foundation of St. Stephen's Anglican parish church laid on November 7, 1845. [2] This is a Norman building, the restoration of which was completed in 1846 [3] .
Woodville's environs are rich in industrial heritage across a wide range of industries, such as pottery ( Ashby's pottery guilds are now on display in museums), a pipe mill, breweries, rope factories and railways; however, the industrial presence of all these sectors has been rapidly decreasing recently [4] .
From a geographical point of view, the borders of the village are not clearly defined.
In the village there is a group of scouts [5] , a primary school and a secondary school at the Anglican Church of St. Stephen [6] , and in 2008 the village earned the status of FA Charter Standard [7] .
