The Area - .
Woodgon Road forms part of the older part of the village built around the turn of the 20th century for the workers in the boot and shoe industry that was prominent in the area at that time.
Anstey is a North West Leicestershire village in the Borough of Charnwood, known by many as “The gateway to Charnwood Forest” and surrounded by some of the county’s most beautiful countryside and most charming, desirable villages. A settlement is thought to have existed on the site dating back to the 12th century.
Anstey used to be self-sufficient with local farms providing food and milk and having a number of factories in both the boot and shoe, and hosiery industries. Most of the factories have made way for apartment blocks and the village has become very much a commuter village to Leicester.
A number of primary schools in the village feed into The Martin Secondary School named after one of the area’s most influential families thought to have lived locally until the end of the 19th century.
St Mary’s Church is thought to have Norman origins dating back in part to the 14th century. Built using local materials, the building was extended and underwent extensive renovations during the 19th century
Bradgate Park lies approx. 3 miles North West of The village. A public park covering some 850 acres and once the family home of Lady Jane Grey who was known as “The nine day Queen” and became The Queen of England in 1554 at the age of 17. She was overthrown 9 days later by The Privy Council of England who proclaimed her cousin Mary 1st as Queen. Lady Jane was later beheaded at the Tower of London for High Treason.
The village has grown over the years with a number of new residential developments but retains the feel of a semi-rural village with a local amenities and a number of popular restaurants and public houses found in and around The Nook.
Anstey is very popular today with local buyers and those from further afield due in part to its fine mix of housing and its ease of access to Leicester, Nottingham, Melton and Loughborough with the nearby A46 and A563 allowing travel around the county and providing direct access to the motorway network, Beaumont Shopping Centre and Fosse Retail Park
