About Oakthorpe

Oakthorpe, a quiet hamlet, exhales the lingering scent of coal dust and damp earth, a testament to its mining past. It lies 4.7 km south-west of Ashby-de-la-Zouch (from Ashby-de-la-Zouch: bearing 222°T, OS grid SK 325 132), and is situated north-west of Measham village. The landscape around Oakthorpe unfolds in gentle, arable sweeps, where the sky often hangs in a soft, diffused light, lending a certain contemplative mood to the fields. The houses, a mix of sturdy brick and weathered stone, seem to huddle together as if sharing old stories against the prevailing wind. A sense of quiet industry still hums beneath the surface, a subtle echo of the collieries that once shaped its identity, now replaced by the hum of agricultural life. The village green, a simple expanse of emerald, offers a moment of repose, a place where the present gently acknowledges the enduring spirit of Oakthorpe.
