Sharnford

The Domesday hamlet or farmstead of Scerneford is mentioned in the tenth-century will of Wulfric Spot, earl of Mercia, and probably named after a "scearn" or muddy ford over the River Soar.

[3] The village also has a Church of England Primary school, Post Office, two public houses (The Sharnford Arms, and The Bricklayers) and a motor repair garage.

The history of the club dates back to at least the early 1900s, where evidence shows that Sharnford won the Lutterworth & District Village Cricket League Cup in 1903.

[6] The following year, 6 weeks into the cricket season, Sharnford had to withdraw from the League and cease activity due to a lack of players.

[7][6] Sharnford has one bus service which is operated by Arriva Fox County (X55) running approximately every 3 hours (each way) between Leicester and Hinckley.
