A Roman bowl dated to the 2nd century BC was found and the remains of a Roman well dating from 300 to 100 BC were found during quarrying on Bunny Hill . Is estimated.
Records from the time of Edwards the Confessor (1003-1066) show a Saxon named Levenot as the owner of Bunnys , which at the time consisted of farms and a church. The farmland around Bunny was divided into strips, which were then assigned to individual farmers. These strips ( Nether , Middle and Upper fields ) can be found in the south of Bunnys and rise to wooded hills ( Old Woods ). Villagers' homes were on Moor Lane and Main Street which make up the old part of the village. To the west of the village there is mainly marshland , which is criss-crossed with drainage ditches. Here, for example, willows grew that were harvested for covering the roofs, building fences and for making baskets.
From the end of the 17th century, Sir Thomas Parkyns , the 2nd Baronet of Bunny, administered the place. He built a school that was also accessible to poor children, almshouses and a rectory. He also had the roof of the church renewed. The Parkyns family was based in Bunny Hall .
In 1791, plaster of paris was first found in Bunny. From 1936 onwards an industry developed in Bunny. The mine ( Silver Mine ) and the neighboring factory, in which the corresponding products were made, brought new jobs and thus also a population growth to Bunny.
Until the 19th century agriculture and its ancillary trades were the main source of income for the residents of Bunny. However, as a result of new methods of agriculture, the number of individual farms decreased over the period up to the 20th century. However, while the population has increased, Bunny's area has increased only slightly.
