Great Easton: St Andrew

Welcome to St Andrew's Church, Great Easton located within our small village in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. The village is situated on the A47 road, which connects Leicester to Peterborough. Great Easton is a picturesque village with a population of around 500 people. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

Great Easton has a rich history dating back to the 11th century. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was known as Estone. The village was later renamed Great Easton to distinguish it from the nearby village of Little Easton. St Andrew's Church dates back to the 13th century and is the oldest building in the village. It is built out of ironstone as are a number of other buildings. Great Easton has a number of historic buildings including the Old Rectory, which is a Grade II listed building.
