Lubenham

[2] It is recorded in the Domesday Book that Lubenham was divided between three Anglo-Saxons named Arnketil, Oslac and Osmund in 1066.

By 1086, Lubenham was divided into three fiefs: the first, consisting of 8 carucates of land, was held by a man named Robert, a tenant of the Archbishop of York.

[4] In 1327, William Baud secured a grant to hold two weekly markets and a yearly fair at whitsuntide at his manor in Lubenham.

In 1608, Sir Basil Brooke sat before the Star Chamber in Westminster regarding the inclosure of land in Lubenham and claimed that his income of £300 a year was insufficient.

Lubenham lies on the A4304 road which connects the M1 to Market Harborough, a route for heavy goods vehicles.

Gore Lodge or "The House that Jack built" is a Grade II former farmhouse, converted to a hunting box with stables and cottage, in 1875 by Robert William Edis.

The beacon designed and made by an apprentice has been lit on special royal occasions such as the jubilee and the Queen's 90th birthday.

A cycling club known as the 'Lubenham Raiders' operates on Monday evenings, during the summer and has done so for many years, while other activities including short mat bowls, quizzes, heritage group and monthly coffee mornings take place in the Village Hall.
