About Upton

Upton emerges from the quiet, heavy clay of Leicestershire as a cluster of dwellings defined by the slow, steady hum of rural industry. It lies 3.3 miles south-west of Market Bosworth (from Market Bosworth: bearing 231°T, OS grid SP 364 997), and is situated south-east of Sibson village. The horizon here is wide and unpretentious, composed of furrowed fields that catch the pale, silver light of an English afternoon. Only a short distance to the east, the historic site of the Battle of Bosworth 1485 reminds the observer that this ground was once reclaimed by the weight of shifting crowns. Beyond the immediate hedgerows, the land slopes towards the site of King Richard’s Well, where the water is said to be as cold and clear as it was centuries ago. Upton maintains a modest posture, its lanes tracing the patterns of old agricultural boundaries that predate the modern mechanics of the road. There is a particular sharpness to the air in these parts, a crispness that suggests the proximity of open, unyielding countryside. Life in Upton moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, indifferent to the encroaching sprawl of distant, busier hubs.
