Hayes, the five villages of
Until the 20th century Hayes was made up of five villages, Hayes Town (also called Cotmans Town), Wood End, Botwell, Yeading and Hayes End.
Little is known about the early history of the area. Many flint tools have been found. As well as a Bronze Age axehead near Botwell and the remains of an Iron Age settlement at Heathrow Airport.
Hayes is first mentioned in Saxon records. The name derives from the Anglo Saxon “hese” meaning ” brushwood.” In Domesday Book (1086) the Archbishop of Canterbury is named as lord of the manor.
The oldest building in Hayes is the parish church of St Mary the Virgin. The earliest parts of the church – chancel, nave and font – date from the 12th century.
The quiet rural life of the area did not change much for hundreds of years. The Grand Union Canal arrived in 1794. Brickmaking began in Botwell and Yeading. The finished bricks were transported by barge. The Great Western Railway came to the area in 1864. But in 1901 the population was still only 2,594.
