Rempstone (All Saints)

REMPSTONE (All Saints), a parish, in the union of Loughborough, S. division of the wapentake of Rushcliffe and of the county of Nottingham, 4¼ miles (N. E. by N.) from Loughborough; containing 409 inhabitants. The parish is pleasantly situated on the road from Nottingham to Loughborough, and is separated from Leicestershire by a brook. It comprises between 1300 and 1400 acres, of which the portion of arable land is somewhat greater than of pasture; the soil is chiefly composed of gravel and chalk, the surface is hilly, and the scenery in many parts very pleasing. The living is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £13. 2. 6.; present net income, £478; patron, the Master of Sidney-Sussex College, Cambridge, who appoints a member of that college. The tithes were commuted for land in 1768. The church, a very plain structure, consecrated in 1773, is situated about half a mile from the site of the former edifice of St. Peter-in-the-Rushes.

Transcribed from A Topographical Dictionary of England, by Samuel Lewis, seventh edition, published 1858.
