Welby occupies a quiet fold of the Leicestershire landscape where the heavy clay earth holds the lingering damp of the seasons. It lies 1.4 miles north-west of Melton Mowbray (from Melton Mowbray: bearing 311°T, OS grid SK 733 208), and is situated north-north-east of Asfordby Hill village. The horizon here is defined by long, low ridges that seem to catch the pale, silvered light of the Midlands, casting long shadows across the fallow fields. A short distance to the east, the remains of the Sysonby Grange Scheduled Monument wait in the grass, a silent witness to the centuries of plough and harvest that have shaped this terrain. Welby feels removed from the urgent bustle of the nearby market town, keeping instead to a rhythm dictated by the turning of the weather and the migration of birds. The air carries a faint, sharp clarity, often travelling from the direction of the Welby Brook as it winds its way through the lower pastures. These fields retain a stubborn, ancient character, unmoved by the encroaching reach of industrial expansion that hums faintly from the valleys below. Time in Welby is measured not by the clock, but by the slow, steady progression of the seasons across the open, unhedged sky.
