Sheepy Magna and Pava get their names due to their location near the River Sence, Sheepy deriving from the old English Sceap, a grassy island.The villages are mentioned in the Doomsday book, notably enjoying a period of large economic expansion, however the villages probably date back far further, as Atherstone, a neighbouring village, dates back to the Romans.
