Barleythorpe

BARLEYTHORPE is a village, about a mile northwest from Oakham, on the Melton Mowbray road. In 1894 it was formed, under the Local Government Act, 1894 (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73), into a civil parish from Oakham Deanshold and Barleythorpe township, and is in the hundred, union and county court district of Oakham. The kennels of the Cottesmore Foxhounds are situated on the Ashwell road: W. J. Baird esq. and Col. S. J. Green are joint masters; the pack comprises 50 couples of hounds and hunts Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Oakham, Melton, Stamford and Uppingham are convenient places for hunting visitors; Oakham & Ashwell, both two-miles distant, are the nearest stations to the kennels. Adjoining the Melton Mowbray road is Barleythorpe Hall, a modern stone mansion in the Elizabethan style, the residence of Laurence Kimball esq. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster are lords of the manor of Deanshold and Barleythorpe. The Earl of Lonsdale G.C.V.O., T.D., J.P. is the principal landowner. The area is 995 acres; the population in 1921 was 123. Letters through Oakham
