Desford, Leicestershire, England



 

Notes: From: 'The King's England - Leicestershire and Rutland' by Arthur Mee
It has the King as Lord of the Manor by right of his Duchy of Lancaster, and two Manor houses which, though not Kingly, have their own charm. One with a white-washed front and a thatched roof, stands in the cobbled street; the other is just outside the village, with gables of red-brick and handsome chimneys.
The ancient church, with a battlemented tower and spire, has a font probably Norman and as plain as the village, but the modern pulpit has stone figures of Christ, St. John and St. Martin.
