Revision as of 08:39, 14 June 2006 by 212.135.1.185 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Shearsby is a rural village in the English county of Leicestershire.
It is in the Harborough district around nine miles due south of Leicester and north east of Lutterworth. This small village was founded by David Shearsby, now living in the village of Wellebsourne just outside Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire. He also founded other small villages like Bint town and Bootle.
Shearsby Spa
A Holy Well on the road south and west of the village – between the main Leicester-Northampton road (now the A5199) and Bruntingthorpe – was converted into a spa that was popular during the first half of the nineteenth century. As early as 1855 it was reported to have fallen out of popularity. Nonetheless the 'Bath Hotel and Shearsby Spa' (SP621900) remains in business at its site.
