}}Redmile is a village and civil parish in the Melton district of Leicestershire, England, about {{convert|10|mi|0|spell=in}} north of Melton Mowbray and {{convert|7|mi|0|spell=in}} west of Grantham. The population of the civil parish (including Barkestone-le-Vale and Plungar) was 921 at the 2011 census,[1] up from 829 in 2001.[2]

Joint parish

The parish lies in the Vale of Belvoir close to the county boundary with Nottinghamshire to the west, where the nearest places are Granby, Sutton-cum-Granby and Elton on the Hill. Other nearby places are Bottesford, Belvoir, and Stathern. In 1936 the adjoining civil parishes of Barkestone and Plungar were merged into Redmile; the present-day parish is sometimes known as Barkestone, Plungar and Redmile.

Amenities

Redmile has a Church of England primary school with about 70 pupils, which serves the whole parish. The original national school opened in 1839 and was rebuilt on the same site in 1871.[3] It was then extended with new classrooms in 1999 and 2001 and a school hall in 2009.[4] The most recent Ofsted report, in October 2013, found the school outstanding in all five of the main criteria of assessment.[5]

St Peter's Church dates back to the 13th century: the earliest references are to an earlier building, to whose parish the prior of Belvoir Priory was patron in 1155 and whose first rector was installed in 1220. The parish is now served by the Vale of Belvoir Team.[6] The present-day Church of England building is Grade II* listed and dates mainly from the 14th century, with additions and restorations in the 15th century and in 1840 and 1857.[7] Three of the gravestones in the churchyard are also listed. Dating from the late 17th century, they are examples of a local type known as "Belvoir Angels" and made of Swithland slate.[8] One of them is dated 1690, making it the oldest such stone in the Vale itself.[9]

The former Methodist Chapel, built in 1869, is now a private residence. There are ten other listed buildings in the village, some dating back to the 17th century.[10]

Redmile has two pubs, both now doubling as restaurants: the Peacock Inn and the Windmill Inn. The 18th-century Peacock also has bed-and-breakfast accommodation.[11]

Screen appearances

Redmile was used as a filming location in the majority of the second-series episodes of the popular British comedy drama Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, about a group of seven British migrant construction workers, with the Windmill Inn being used as the Barley Mow pub.[12] The village featured as the fictional town of Kings Oak in a number of location scenes for the 2001 revival of the television soap Crossroads.[13]

Transport

The village has a weekday daytime bus service to Melton Mowbray and Bottesford.[14] The nearest railway station is at Bottesford (3.7 miles, 6.0 km) on the Nottingham to Grantham/Skegness line. Redmile and Belvoir railway station opened in 1879 but closed to passengers in 1951.[15] The Grantham Canal to Nottingham opened in 1797 and closed in 1936. Short sections have been reopened for leisure craft.[16]

Notable people

  • Thomas Daffy (died 1680), who became rector of Redmile in 1666, was the inventor of a patent medicine, Daffy's Elixir, in about 1647.[17]
  • The Leicestershire cricketer Frederic Geeson (1862–1920) was born in Redmile.[18]
  • The international cricketer Luke Wright (born 1985) attended the village school.[19]
