Frisby is a hamlet and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire that lies approximately 7.3 miles (11.7 km) southeast of the city of Leicester, that is now largely a deserted medieval village.

[3] The earthwork "tofts & crofts" are still visible today, with foundations for two stone built buildings noted towards the center of the site (grid reference SK 70547 01602).

[5] Mentioned in the Domesday Book survey of 1086, Frisby was a settlement that was part of the manor of Gaulby[6] in the Hundred of Gartree, Leicestershire.

[8] Archaeological evidence of activity prior to this is very slim,[9][6] but the name of the settlement does imply an Anglo-Saxon origin, possibly founded sometime between the 7th and 8th century.

2, Part 2: "Frisby is noticed in the "Liber Regis" as a chaplry in the parish of Gaulby; but the chapel is there said to be desecrated.

"[8]The site of the chapel of St James is believed to be situated behind the Frisby House Farmhouse[12] which is a Grade II listed building on the left side of the lane as you enter the village from Gaulby Road.
