About Hemington

Hemington, a quiet corner of North West Leicestershire, often feels like a breath held against the coming wind. It lies 6.7 km south-south-west of Long Eaton (from Long Eaton: bearing 212°T, OS grid SK 455 281), and is situated north-east of Castle Donington village. The land here, a gentle scatter of fields, seems to absorb the pale, diffused light of the East Midlands, lending an almost pearlescent quality to the air, particularly in the early mornings. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and bramble, trace the boundaries of pastures where sheep graze with a placid indifference to the passage of time. The church tower, a modest sentinel of local stone, rises with quiet dignity, its bell a familiar punctuation mark in the day's slow unfolding. Hemington's houses, a blend of brick and render, huddle together as if for warmth, their windows reflecting the changing sky. There is a sense of enduring quietude about Hemington, a place where the roots run deep into the unassuming soil.
