Mancetter is a village and civil parish in North Warwickshire, England, where Watling Street crosses the River Anker. The population was 2,339 at the 2011 census. It is contiguous with the town of Atherstone, on the B4111 road towards Hartshill and Nuneaton.
==History== In Roman Britain, a posting station was built along Watling Street close to the river crossing, and a rectangular earthwork of this is still extant. The much larger legionary fortress of the Legio XIV Gemina was built here by about 50 AD, before the legion moved to Wroxeter in about 55. Around the fortress grew the settlement of Manduessedum. Mancetter has been suggested as a possible location of the Defeat of Boudica, between an alliance of indigenous British peoples led by Boudica and a Roman army led by Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, although the exact location is unknown.
