Sketchley Old Village breathes a quiet existence in the heart of Leicestershire. It lies 1.8 km south of Hinckley (from Hinckley: bearing 184°T, OS grid SP 424 920). The land here, an agreeable canvas of greens and browns, rolls with a gentle, almost imperceptible grace, hinting at the deep agricultural roots that anchor Sketchley Old Village. A faint echo of the former mining industry, a ghost of a different time, might still be felt by those with a keen ear, a subtle underscoring to the present-day peace. The light, when it catches the weathered brick of older dwellings, seems to hold a warmth, a memory of countless sunsets witnessed.
