About Measham

Measham carries the quiet weight of its long industrial past, where the earth once yielded coal to fuel the furnaces of a changing nation. It lies 3.2 miles south-south-west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (from Ashby-de-la-Zouch: bearing 207°T, OS grid SK 334 121), and is situated south-east of Oakthorpe village. The horizon here is defined by a landscape that has transitioned from the grit of the pit-head to the soft, shifting greens of rewilded ground. A short walk from the centre, the Millennium Green offers a space where public art stands against the sky, marking the transition from heavy industry to open, contemplative air. Not far beyond the rooftops, the River Mease winds its way through the meadows, providing a slow, constant pulse to the surrounding fields. The light in this part of Leicestershire often catches the moisture rising from the low-lying pastures, casting a silver sheen over the hedgerows in the early morning. Measham retains a sturdy character, shaped by those who worked the seams beneath the feet of current residents. Time here moves with the deliberate pace of the water, far removed from the frantic rush of the motorway corridors that skirt the district.
