Lubenham

Lubenham

Lubenham is a small rural village and civil parish just to the west of Market Harborough, a market town in the South of Leicestershire, England. The first ever Grand National was held in Lubenham, on the grounds of what is now Thorpe Lubenham Hall.

Road accidents

Lubenham lies on the route of the A4304 road which connects the M1 to Market Harborough, thus it is a popular thoroughfare for heavy goods vehicles and has a steady flow of traffic. Recently the road has involved the death of one young boy(2006). There have since been calls for the local council to improve road safety.
