High Cross, a quiet hamlet in Leicestershire, exhales a gentle stillness. It lies 7.1 km south-east of Hinckley (from Hinckley: bearing 138°T, OS grid SP 473 886), and is situated west of Claybrooke Magna village. The fields surrounding High Cross, a patchwork of greens and golds under the expansive East Midlands sky, whisper tales of generations of agriculture, their furrows a testament to patient labour. A sense of enduring peace pervades the air, a palpable quietude that seems to absorb the distant hum of the wider world. Even the hedgerows, thick with the promise of hedgerow flowers in spring and berries in autumn, possess a certain ancient wisdom, their tangled branches framing views of rolling land.
