About Knossington

Knossington, a quiet Leicestershire village, exhales a gentle breath of the East Midlands. It lies 5.7 km west of Oakham (from Oakham: bearing 269°T, OS grid SK 802 085), and is situated south-south-west of Cold Overton village. The fields surrounding Knossington, in their rich, dark earth, seem to hold the memory of ancient ploughs, their contours softened by the passing seasons. The village itself unfolds with a certain unpretentious grace, its stone cottages reflecting the soft, diffused light that often graces these English landscapes. A sense of enduring presence emanates from the ancient church, its spire a quiet sentinel against the sky, a landmark that has witnessed generations of life within Knossington's embrace. The air here carries a faint, earthy perfume, a subtle mingling of hedgerow blossom and the distant scent of cultivated fields.
