Notes |
Great Dalby (Population 376)
Three miles south of Melton Mowbray on the B6047, this farming village was once a 1,375 acre estate. The last landlord was Sir Francis Burdett and the estate was sold in July 1921. St. Swithuns Church dates from the 14th century, but due to the collapse of its steeple much of it was rebuilt in 1658. The Methodist Church was built in 1846 and a schoolroom was added in 1890. The primary school dates back to 1876 but has been added to since. A village hall was built in 1937. The local pub, " The Royal Oak " , has recently been re-thatched. Great Dalby has grown over the years and now supports its own cricket and badminton clubs

Ashby Folville (Population 122)
Situated six miles south-west of Melton Mowbray, Ashby Folville is famous for its large number of trees. Once the major tree was the ash, but now the horse chestnut predominates. The Parish Church of St. Mary was founded in 1220 by Maud Bassett and is a Grade I listed building. Launde Priory was the first patron. Maud Bassett's tomb is under an arch north of the chancel and dates from 1222. The church contains two squints: one allowing those in the " lepers chapel " to see the altar and the other in the Carington chapel enabling the Lord of the Manor to view the altar without being seen by the congregation.
There is a Tudor styled manor, which was reconstructed after a disastrous fire in the 18th century and also a Tithe Barn dating from 1540. Once thatched, it was roofed with Swithland slate in the 19th century. The village also has three semi-detached Almshouses built by the first Lord Carington in 1673. In 1981 new almshouses (Carington Cottages) were built with proceeds from the sale of the old ones, because the old almshouses were unsuitable for elderly people. The present Lord of the Manor belongs to the Smith Carington family, who are direct descendants of the original Folville family of 1100 A.D.
