Measham, a village in North West Leicestershire, breathes the quiet dignity of the East Midlands. It lies 5.1 km 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 gentle slopes of the surrounding landscape, often touched by a soft, diffused light, lend a sense of understated grace to Measham's setting. Historically, Measham was shaped by the coal mining industry, a legacy that has left its mark, though the village now thrives on a more diversified local economy. Its market square, though modest, can still evoke the spirit of commerce with the lingering scent of produce on a Saturday morning. The River Mease, a waterway of some local importance, winds its way nearby, adding a touch of natural fluidity to the area's character.
