About Smeeton Westerby

Approximately 10 miles south east of Leicester, Smeeton Westerby was once two separate hamlets of Smeeton and Westerby with the boundary believed to marked by two white stones next to Westerby House.

Westerby House is faces the southern end of the main street and is an eighteenth century building constructed of brick.

The main source of income was farming, however in the nineteenth century framework knitting also provided local employment.

As it is a conservation village there has been little change to the size of the village apart from the small developments on the former factory site and Mill Lane.

In 1975 an ancient burial site of the Beaker people was discovered just outside the village.
