Countesthorpe
Countesthorpe is a village in Leicestershire, close to Blaby and South Wigston.
St. Andrew's Church, in the centre of the village, is mediaeval.
The Countesthorpe Cottage Homes were set up for children of people who had fallen on hard times, to save the youngsters from the stigma of the workhouse.
Just outside Countesthorpe is the deserted mediaeval village of Foston.
Blue Badge Guide Colin Crosby is available to lead Guided Walks around Countesthorpe for groups.
