Lovingly restored from dereliction over nine years, this substantial and beautiful home offers four reception rooms, six bedrooms and three bathrooms with two attic rooms and boasts a wealth of outstanding features including a 15th Century tower and magnificent stone mullioned windows. Steeped in history, the property has royal connections to Lady Jane Grey, Edward VI and Henry VIII and with mediaeval origins, was the subject of BBC's Time Team programme in 2010. Full surveys and a complete compendium of restoration works and history are all available. The flexible accommodation includes a two bedroom cottage annexe ideal for dependent relatives, half cellars and a new kitchen with four oven Aga. The property is Grade II* Listed with origins dating back to 1495 and mediaeval ruins within the paddock grounds. The History of The History of the house and grounds is astounding the owners and their direct Groby Old Hall relatives have included key historical figures such as Elizabeth Woodville, sister of Lady Jane Grey (Queen of England for 9 days), who married Edward IV, was the mother of the Princes in the Tower, mother in law of Henry VII and grandmother of Henry VIII. The Grand Hall which preceded the house was probably built by the Ferrers family, Barons of Groby, the 1st Baron Ferrers of Groby having been ennobled for services to Edward I and Edward II .(2) The Hall and Barony passed to the Greys by marriage after Sir Edward Grey married Elizabeth Ferrers, granddaughter and heir to the 5th Baron Ferrers, around 1432.(3) The Grey family's most celebrated members were the two (or one and a half) Queens of England: Elizabeth Woodville and Lady Jane Grey. Elizabeth Woodville married Sir Edward Grey's son John, joining him at Groby, where they had two sons. After John's death in battle at the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461, she petitioned King Edward IV for return of her confiscated lands, and won not just her case but his heart and hand in marriage.(4) As Queen she set about promoting the causes of her Woodville relatives, her sons by John Grey, and her children by Edward IV, with mixed results. Of the royal children, the two boys became the ill-fated Princes in the Tower, whereas her daughter, also Elizabeth, married the victor of Bosworth Field, Henry VII, uniting the houses of Lancaster and York to end the Wars of the Roses. Elizabeth Woodville lived to see the birth of two royal grandchildren, Prince Arthur and the future Henry VIII.(3) She also saw her son Thomas Grey promoted through court, first as Earl of Huntingdon, and then in 1475, Marquis of Dorset. Following Edward IV's death, and the rise of Richard III he found himself in exile in France, where he joined Henry Tudor, as a valued but untrustworthy supporter of the Lancastrian cause.(5) When Henry Tudor defeated Richard III in 1485, Thomas Grey maintained a precarious position within the new court, but found the means to upgrade his ancestral manor at Groby. It appears he started work on a new brick gatehouse on the same site as the manor, which later became part of what is now the 'Old Hall'. However, he rapidly expanded his plans by beginning an entirely new, red brick, great house in his hunting park at Bradgate, several miles away, which was completed by his son some time after his death in 1501.(6) Bradgate House became the Greys home for the next 240 years, with some disruptions around 1554, and it was at Bradgate that Thomas Grey's great-granddaughter, Lady Jane Grey was born and brought up.(3) Groby Old Hall, which may incorporate much earlier remains, remained a key part of the Groby estate, and shared in the changing fortunes of the Grey family. The point at which the former grand hall was demolished is unknown, and was the subject of an inconclusive Time Team dig broadcast from the paddock behind the house in 2011. The red-brick gatehouse became what is now known as the 'Old Hall', and is one of England's earliest brick buildings. The Property Purchased by the current owners in 2009 and saved from dereliction, this remarkable Grade II* Listed property has an astounding degree of history and has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration programme throughout. Having been extensively surveyed and historically documented, the property now offers a fine and substantial detached family home within delightful grounds overlooking the adjacent Village Church. With high ceilings throughout, the main house features four double bedrooms with two further attic rooms on the second floor, in addition to an attached cottage annexe ideal for a dependent relative or further accommodation. The restoration programme has sympathetically enhanced and retained all the original features in close consultation with English Heritage and the Local Planning Authority and the property will be of particular interest to lovers of ancient buildings blended with modern comfort. The stunning setting of the property includes delightful partly walled private gardens and surrounding paddocks which include the remains of a mediaeval property and in addition a walled summer entertaining garden with outbuilding, kitchen garden and extensive lawns. The passion for the restoration project can be seen throughout the property with major structural and renovation works carried out with full supervision. The property constitutes an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a property of considerable architectural heritage and importance yet within the vibrant and popular village with a large range of local amenities and within fast access of the motorway networks, Leicester and Loughborough.

AH. lqAo FRON'i'ISPIECE FOREWORD OF the many interesting features which give the area known as Charnwood Forest its peculiar charm, its almost unique geological character has a notable place. Among the great variety of rocks forming the foundation of the Charnian landscape is the vein of workable slate which occurs in the volcanic rocks of the southern half of the Forest. These deposits of slates have been known for many centuries; there is a strong reason to believe that the Romans worked them, as they worked so many of our British minerals, while the size and depth of the quarries at Swithland give clear proof of the extent to which they have been worked in more recent times. The main seat of the slate industry was at Swithland, where, in the middle of that part of the wood which was purchased by the Leicester Rotary Club and entrusted to the Bradgate Park Trustees, there are two great hollows in the ground with vertical sides and half filled with water. It was mainly from these pits that the raw materials of the industry with which Mr.

  • Names in the First Parish Register from Markfield St Michael's Church, 1571 to 1784
    Names in the first Parish Register from Markfield St Michael’s Church, 1571 to 1784 The purpose of this publication is to allow those with a family history, linked to the village of Markfield, a chance to view the names in the very first Parish Register from St Michael’s Church, which dates from 1571 to 1784. Information has been compiled after scanning through innumerable fiches of the original leather-bound register at the County Record Office at Wigston. This booklet can in no way claim to give accurate information as to when families first came into the village. It is hoped that this compilation will though be as accurate as possible for the written records. An often semi- literate village parson, had to cope with what were then illiterate villagers, whose probably only chance to see their name in written form was in the Parish Church register. Strange accents and the complexities of names such as ‘Cicely Jecombottomly’ or ‘Marah Wainwrite’ made it even more difficult to put pen to paper. The present day scribe was herself briefly flummoxed by the surname ‘†ian’, until it dawned that the name was of course Christian. Many of the entries have suffered the ravages of time and some names have vanished in faded page edges, whilst others suffered events of the time and drowned in ink blodges. There are 354 marriage, 1399 baptism and 1125 burial entries included within the surname charts. Only about twenty names made so little sense that they were omitted, and others have a question mark after them.
