Congerstone (/ˈkʌndʒəstən/) is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Shackerstone, in the Hinckley and Bosworth district, in Leicestershire, England.[1] It is three miles north west of Market Bosworth, of which it was historically a daughter parish. It is near the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal and the A444 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 209.[2]
The Grade II* listed parish church of St Mary the Virgin dates back to 1179, although the current building is largely from the 16th century and was remodelled in the 19th century. [3] The patron of the church was formerly the Curzon family of Earl Howe who also helped fund the village school. [4] The church includes a monument by Sir George Frampton, dedicated to Georgiana, Countess Howe, first wife of Richard Curzon, 4th Earl Howe. [5]
The village has one school, Congerstone Primary School, on Shackerstone Road.
History
The village's name derives from the Old English cyning-tūn meaning 'farm/settlement of a king'.[6]
On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Shackerstone.[7]
