Places of Interest

Burton Lazars, one mile south of Melton Mowbray, is so named because of a Leper hospital, which existed in the village from 1117 until it was closed by Edward VI in 1547. It was administered by the Monks of St Augustinian Order and dedicated to St Lazarus of Jerusalem.

Melton Mowbray is a lively market town, famous for Stilton cheese and Pork Pies. There is a weekly livestock market and a street market that takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Belvoir Castle, home to the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, Burghley House, Stamford and Rutland Water are all within easy reach, as are the cities of Nottingham and Leicester.
