Colin Crosby Heritage Tours

Peckleton

Peckleton is a village, not much more than a hamlet, in Leicestershire, 2 miles from Desford.

St. Mary Magdalene`s Church, down a lane from the rest of the village, is mostly 14th century, although the piscina is a little earlier. There is some fine stained glass.

Peckleton Hall, near the church, is late Georgian.

Nearby is what appears to be a moated site, and it is believed that this may be site of the Sparkenhoe Moot.

There is a thriving annual Peckleton Music Festival.

Blue Badge Guide Colin Crosby is available to lead Guided Walks around Peckleton for groups.
