Stonebow Village
Stonebow Village is a civil parish in Borough of Charnwood, Leicestershire, England.[1][2]
The parish was created on 1 April 2019, from parts of the parishes of Shepshed and Hathern and part of the unparished area of Loughborough.[3][4] It is bordered to the west by the parish of Shepshed (the M1 motorway forming the boundary), to the north by Hathern, and to the east and south by Loughborough.[1]
The Garendon Park Development, also known as the West of Loughborough Sustainable Urban Extension, is a proposed development of 3,200 houses, with associated shopping facilities, schools, sporting facilities and employment areas, in the parish. It received outline planning permission in July 2018,[5][6] and As of 2024[update] is being marketed by its developers under the name Garendon Country Park.[7]
As of October 2024[update] there are 13 listed buildings (the Triumphal Arch at grade I,[8] the Temple of Venus at grade II*[9] and 11 at grade I), one listed park and garden (Garendon at grade II),[10] and one scheduled monument (the remains of the Cistercian Garendon Abbey)[11] in the parish. All are within Garendon Park, the grounds of the former Garendon Hall.
The highest point in the parish is Bellevue Hill at 68 m (223 ft), in the north, which has been described as "offer[ing] stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside".[12]
