About

Lubenham ward encompasses the village of Lubenham and its surrounding rural land, situated just west of Market Harborough. The area is defined by the River Welland, which forms its southern boundary, and contains a mix of residential streets and working farmland. The historic core includes buildings of local limestone, with the parish church being a notable landmark. Development has been contained, maintaining a clear separation from the neighbouring town.

The local economy has traditional connections to agriculture, though many residents now commute. The area includes the site of the former Lubenham airfield, which has been largely returned to agricultural use. Public footpaths follow parts of the old railway line and riverbank, providing access to the countryside. The ward functions with its own community facilities, including a primary school and village hall, sustaining a distinct identity separate from the larger urban area nearby.
