[3] There seems to have been a dense patch of Viking settlement in Leicestershire, although some records in the Blaby Library indicate the origin of the village's name was from the first vicar.

The other public houses to be found in Blaby are The Fox & Tiger, The Bulls Head and The Black Horse.

Blaby is now part of the constituency of South Leicestershire and represented by Alberto Costa of the Conservative Party.

Blaby is home to rugby union side, Leicester Lions, who play at the 2,000 capacity Westleigh Park.
