cafe with excellent homemade cakes, pannini, breakfast and pizza.

Inside Church - tea, coffee and toilet facilities.

Sometimes known as the "Lady of the Vale", it is a large church which has the 2nd highest spire in Leicestershire (at 212 feet). The oldest part of the church dates from the 12th century, with additions and alterations made during the following three centuries, including the nave and spire in the 15th century. There are two gargoyles on the south transept.

Built of ironstone with limestone dressings and dates from c1300, from which period only the arcade with alternating octagonal and circular piers and double-chamfered arches remain.

A stone memorial dedicated to the memory of 6 members of crew from the Lancaster Bomber ED 549 which crash landed just to the north of the memorial on the 5th March 1943 after engine trouble following a mine laying operation over France. It is flanked by two wooden posts and an information board about the crash and the aircrew. source: https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/260911
