Bisbrooke

Bisbrooke

Bisbrooke is a village in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is located about two miles east of Uppingham close to the A47. In 2001, it had a population of 219.

In the 1950s, "small-holdings, orchards and vegetable patches jostle each other in the sheltered hollows of Bisbrooke” where “almost everyone grows and sells strawberries”; much of the fruit was sent for jam-making.

The village was too unremarkable to warrant an entry in Arthur Mee's The King's England volume. The parish [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/255717 church] is St John the Baptist. Bisbrooke Hall is actually nearer to Glaston. The "Gate Inn" is on "Main Street".
