Lutterworth is an historic market town and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England.

[2] In the 14th century, the religious reformer John Wycliffe was rector of Lutterworth between 1374 and 1384, and it was during his time here that he is traditionally believed to have produced the first translation of the Bible from Latin into English.

[2] In the days of the stagecoach, Lutterworth was an important stopping place on the road from Leicester to Oxford and London, and many former coaching inns remain in the town.

It is said that the brewery did not like the name Ram Inn and prudishly renamed it "the Cavalier" after claims that wounded royalist soldiers sheltered in Lutterworth following the Battle of Naseby in 1645.

The building has been modified over the years; it retains its rustic charm with stone walls and low ceilings and beams.

To the west of the town [2.5 mi (4.0 km)] is a large logistics and distribution centre called Magna Park, which is the main source of employment in the Lutterworth area.

A controversial issue in the town is how to manage the traffic flows emanating from Magna Park and the nearby M1 and A5 trunk roads.

Approximately 3,000 heavy goods vehicles pass through the town every day and pollution levels are reported as being high.

A southern bypass, the A4303, was opened in 1999, providing a route for traffic from the M1 to the A5 to avoid Lutterworth town centre.

Sherrier was originally housed in a Victorian building on Churchgate before moving to a new location on Bitteswell Road in 1983.

In 2019 the Sir Frank Whittle Studio School closed due to a lack of students and minimal further interest.

Feilding Palmer Hospital, run by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust is situated in the town.

[17] Mark Corrigan of the British television series Peep Show describes a trip to Lutterworth by public transport as taking so long that it feels like "going to Mordor", a reference to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
