About Somerby

Somerby, a Leicestershire village, presides over rolling Leicestershire countryside, its gentle slopes catching the afternoon sun in a soft, buttery light. It lies 8.3 km west-north-west of Oakham (from Oakham: bearing 283°T, OS grid SK 778 105), and is situated south-west of Pickwell village. The parish church, St. Mary's, stands as a quiet sentinel, its stone weathered by centuries of seasons, a testament to the enduring faith of generations who have called Somerby home. Fields of ripening wheat and barley, a familiar sight across the East Midlands, stretch towards the horizon, their golden hues a rich counterpoint to the verdant hedgerows. The air here carries the faint scent of damp earth and distant woodsmoke, a subtle perfume of rural existence. Somerby's character is one of quiet continuity, a place where the rhythm of the agricultural year still dictates the pulse of daily life.
