The name of the village of Lower Slaughter stems from the Old English name for a wet land 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy place) upon which it lies. This quaint village sits beside the little Eye stream and is known for it's unspoilt limestone cottages in the traditional Cotswold style.
The stream running through the village is crossed by two small bridges and the local attraction is a converted mill with original water wheel selling craft type products.

Enos Slaughter was a tough, hard nosed, no-nonsense ballplayer who played most of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals and would go on to manage the team after he retired from the field. He was noted for his hustle and was the first player to run to first base after receiving a walk. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985. The Baseball Hall of Famer known simply as "Country" is resting here in the Allensville United Methodist Church Cemetery near Roxboro, North Carolina.
