  • LOCAL GOVERNMENT Overview Manorial Government
    Victoria County History: Leicestershire LUTTERWORTH DRAFT TEXT by P.J. Fisher and A. Watkins LOCAL GOVERNMENT Overview Lutterworth’s institutional structure resembled that of a village, with three-weekly manor courts, and twice-yearly views of frankpledge, presided over by the lord’s bailiff. The only court rolls to survive before the 18th century are from 1562, 1564 and 1657.1 Many survive from 1732 to 1857.2 One of the town’s two medieval religious guilds evolved into what became the Town Estate, which repaired the roads and funded town ‘improvements’.3 Town-masters’ accounts survive from 1707 to 1726 and 1761 to 1872.4 Constables’ accounts survive from 1651 to 1707 and 1809 to 1832.5 Their duties in 1657 included reporting ‘Popish Recusants’, houses erected without the statutory 4 a. of land, unlicensed alehouses, people playing unlawful games and those buying or selling corn before the market opened.6 The accounts include expenditure in the 1650s on a cuck-stool (ducking stool) with wheel, a whipping post and a cage (lock-up).7 Vestry minutes survive from 1789 to 1960.8 The town also had a Nuisances Committee from 1855, but it had little power to effect sanitary improvements. There was never a burial board. Town (parish) council minutes survive from 1894.9 Lutterworth was the main market town in Guthlaxton Hundred, and had a minor administrative role in the county in the 14th and 15th centuries. It became the centre of a Poor Law Union in 1835, and a Rural District Council in 1894. It hosted petty sessions and a county court from the 18th century, and magistrates’ courts until 1998.

Important Views Foreword from the Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee Welcome to the Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish of Misterton with Walcote. The current Neighbourhood Plan process was originated by Misterton with Walcote Parish at a Council meeting on 12 January 2017 when it was decided to set up a joint Parish Council/Community Advisory Committee. The impetus for producing a Neighbourhood Plan was not to prevent development, but to ensure that it is of an appropriate scale and character. We are fortunate to live in an area of great beauty both in terms of the natural landscape and the built environment. As the Neighbourhood Plan was being written, the new Local Plan for Harborough was being finalised. It was adopted in April 2019. A key element of the Local Plan is the proposal to establish a Strategic Development Area (SDA) for Lutterworth, a significant proportion of which is in the Neighbourhood Plan Area.

  • Harborough District Council
    Harborough Council Size Submission Approved by Full Council on 25th July 2016 Section 1 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Harborough District spans an area of 59,178 hectares (228 square miles) situated in rural south Leicestershire. The district shares boundaries with Melton Borough, Rutland County, Corby Borough, Kettering Borough, Daventry District, Rugby Borough, Blaby District, Oadby and Wigston Borough, Leicester City, and Charnwood Borough. 1.2 The sub-regional centre is Market Harborough; key centres are recognised as Broughton Astley and Lutterworth; rural centres are Kibworth, Fleckney, Great Glen, Billesdon, Ullesthorpe and Husbands Bosworth. 1.3 Harborough District comprises 91 parishes, of which 45 have parish councils and 42 are parish meetings (3 joint parish meetings represent 7 separate parishes). The town of Market Harborough is unparished. 1.4 There are a number of main ‘A’ roads that link the main urban settlements within and outside the District. The A4303/A4304 serves between Harborough and Lutterworth, and the A426 links Lutterworth to Rugby. The A6 links Market Harborough directly to Leicester and the A14 links to Kettering and the South. The main urban areas of the District are close to the intersection of the M1, M6 and A14. 1.5 The midland mainline runs through the district with London just over an hour’s journey from Market Harborough. Harborough’s rural nature, and its proximity to London by rail, make it an increasingly attractive place for commuters to live. 1.6 The 2011 Census recorded the population of the Harborough District as 85,382. The Office for National Statistics estimates that the population of Harborough District will increase to 100,800 by 2033.
