Atterton, a quiet corner of Leicestershire, breathes a gentle agrarian spirit. It lies 4.5 km east of Atherstone (from Atherstone: bearing 84°T, OS grid SP 353 983), and is situated north of Fenny Drayton village. Fields, like worn velvet under the sun, stretch out from the few scattered dwellings, their hedgerows a riot of hawthorn and wild rose in season. The soil here, a rich loam, has yielded its bounty for generations, a silent testament to patient husbandry. The air often carries the faint, sweet scent of cultivated earth, a perfume unique to this particular stretch of England. Even the lanes, winding between the farms, seem to hold the memory of countless journeys, their verges alive with the chatter of unseen birds.
