The population is included in the civil parish of Redmile. HistoryThe village originated as a 7th-century settlement, and is mentioned as a parish in the 1086 Domesday Book.[1] Since 1936 it has been part of a joint parish that includes Redmile and Plungar. HeritageThere are 120 dwellings in Barkestone-le-Vale. The village used to have a primary school, which was closed in the late 1980s, by which time it had only 11 pupils. The school building was converted for residential use,[2] as was the former mill house. A large derelict farmhouse is also undergoing conversion.[3] The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a listed building Grade II* dating mainly from the 14th century, with 15th-century additions. Most of the windows are in Perpendicular style. Parts of the church were rebuilt in 1840 and the whole was restored in 1857.[4] The church congregation belongs to the Vale of Belvoir group.[5] A Primitive Methodist chapel was built in 1825. This was not mentioned in gazetteers later in the century.[6] It closed for lack of support in 1927.[7] CountrysideA number of footpaths serve the village, one of them linking it with Belvoir Castle. The rural nature of the area makes it suitable for bird-watching. Some of the species that may be seen in the countryside surrounding the village are the buzzard, the quail, and the reed and sedge warblers.[8][9] The Grantham Canal, which opened in 1797 is no longer in commercial use. It passes to the north and west of the village, parallel with the disused railway.[10] Public transportThe nearest railway station is Bottesford (5.5 miles, 8.9 km) on the Nottingham to Grantham/Skegness line. Redmile railway station (1.5 miles, 2.4 km), with trains between Melton Mowbray and Grantham or Newark-on-Trent, closed to passengers in 1951. Barkestone is served by daytime buses between Bottesford and Melton Mowbray six times a day on Monday to Saturday.[11] AmenitiesThere is a primary school in Redmile (1.6 miles, 2.6 km).[12] The nearest shops and a secondary school[13] are in Bottesford (4.8 miles, 7.7 km). The village pub has become a bar and grill, open most evenings. Plungar (1 mile, 1.6 km) has the nearest traditional pub, The Anchor.[14] The local post office opens for only two hours a week.[15] References1. ^http://www.barkestonelevale.com/main.htm, accessed 4 Nov. 2007 2. ^http://www.dark-brown.co.uk 3. ^{{cite web|title=Top 15 unusual buildings for sale|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/buyingsellingandmoving/9775390/Top-15-unusual-buildings-for-sale.html|publisher=Daily Telegraph}} 4. ^British listed buildings Retrieved 25 June 2017. 5. ^A Church Near You Retrieved 25 June 2017. 6. ^Leicestershire History Retrieved 25 June 2017. 7. ^ 8. ^[https://www.birdguides.com/sites/europe/britain-ireland/britain/england/leicestershire-and-rutland/ Barkestone Wood.
