    Brooksby Hall

    Brooksby Hall is a late–16th-century manor house on 3.2 square kilometres of land between Leicester and Melton Mowbray. Situated 13 kilometres northeast of Leicester, the hall and the neighbouring church of St Michael and All Angels are the last remnants of the medieval village of Brooksby, which was founded during the period of the Danelaw in the 9th century AD. In the 15th and 16th centuries Brooksby was depopulated by enclosures carried out by the estate's owners, which turned its cultivated land into sheep pastures in order to profit from a boom in wool.
