A now-disappeared local stone quarry was the source of "Attleborough Sandstone" a very popular high-quality building stone that was once used in the construction of numerous up-market buildings, particularly churches, in the local area. A noted example is the parish church, St Margaret's, in Stoke Golding. The quarry operated from medieval times until the 1930s when the stone was worked-out. It was subsequently used as a rubbish tip and infilled. It is now covered by housing and a recreation ground. Quarry Lane provides a reminder of its existence.

The United Kingdom has evolved from a series of annexations, unions and separations of constituent countries over several hundred years. The Treaty of Union between the Kingdom of England (which included Wales, annexed in 1542) and the Kingdom of Scotland in 1707 formed the Kingdom of Great Britain. Its union in 1801 with the Kingdom of Ireland created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922, leaving the present United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which formally adopted that name in 1927. The nearby Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey are not part of the UK, being Crown Dependencies with the British Government responsible for defence and international representation. There are also 14 British Overseas Territories, the last remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in the 1920s, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's landmass and a third of the world's population, and was the largest empire in history. British influence can be observed in the language, culture and the legal and political systems of many of its former colonies.
