HASELBEECH (St. Michael), a parish, in the union of Brixworth, hundred of Rothwell, N. division of the county of Northampton, 7 miles (S. by W.) from Market-Harborough; containing 194 inhabitants. This parish forms some of the highest table-land in the midland counties, and comprises about 1600 acres, of which 300 are arable, and the remainder pasture. The village is about two miles east-by-south from that of Naseby. The living is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £13. 14. 9½., and in the patronage of the Governors of St. George's Hospital, London; net income, £296. The church is an ancient structure with a tower; the chancel was rebuilt in 1842, by the present rector, who has also rebuilt the rectory-house, and by whom a school is principally supported.
