More about Groby Leicestershire
Groby (pronounced "Grooby") is a medium-sized English
village in the county of Leicestershire, to the north
west of the city of Leicester.
The village has expanded in recent years. The southern
side is dominated by new housing estates, but the old
village centre still retains some character, with some
cobbled lanes and thatched cottages. The main church
dates from 1840 and stands on the site of Groby Castle.
No remains are left of the castle, other than a slight
rise in ground to the east of the main church building.
Groby Hall and Castle are linked to the Grey family, of
Bradgate Park - the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey,
who was Queen of England for nine days in 1553.
The village was built on the A50 near Leicester, but
this road has now bypassed much of the village due to
two road schemes in the 1980s and 90s. The village also
has easy access to the A46 Leicester Western Bypass and
the M1 (J22 North and J21a South).
Shopping
The village centre has a few shops, including a new
Co-op supermarket, Pricegate, Chaplins (traditional
family butcher), a bakery, greengrocers, Cathy Stevens
Jewellery, Gordon Davis Chemists, Mark Jarvis, Wilson &
Sons Newsagent, Barclays Bank, Alliance and Leicester.
There is also a fish and chip shop as well as other
takeaways, a pub (the Stamford Arms) and various other
shops. The Lawnwood shopping parade has Henson's
hardware shop as well as a newsagent, hairdresser etc.
The old quarry in the village centre is now an
industrial estate - mostly owned by the company GE Druck
Ltd, which makes pressure transducers.
Education
There are various schools, including Lady Jane Grey
Primary, Elizabeth Woodville Primary and Martinshaw
County Primary. Brookvale High School and Groby
Community College are located on a campus to the west of
the village, and attract students from Groby and the
surrounding villages. There is also a very successful
scout troop based on the edge of Martinshaw Woods.
Quarrying
Groby Quarry is located on the narrow lane which leads
through to Newtown Linford, and is still used to quarry
granite. Lawn Wood Quarry, on the A50, is now largely
disused and is being filled in with landfill.
Groby Pool
Groby Pool is located opposite Groby Quarry on Newtown
Linford Lane. It is privately owned, by the owners of
Pool House. However, there is a public car park (often
closed due to threat of itinerants) and it is possible
to walk along the side nearest the road, which has been
opened. Feeding the ducks at Groby Pool has long been a
tradition for local people.
Groby Parish also includes the village of Field Head,
which is just before Markfield on the A50, and has a
large hotel (the Field Head hotel) built from local
stone, that dates back to 1672.
