About

Markfield, Stanton and Fieldhead ward encompasses a mix of residential and rural landscapes on the northwestern edge of the Hinckley and Bosworth borough. The area includes the village of Markfield, with its local amenities and community facilities, alongside the smaller settlements of Stanton under Bardon and Field Head. The ward is bordered by the M1 motorway, which influences its character, providing connectivity while also creating a distinct boundary. Surrounding farmland and wooded areas, such as parts of the National Forest, contribute to its semi-rural setting.

The local economy has historical ties to quarrying, particularly for granite, with some remnants of this industry still visible in the landscape. Markfield Park serves as a central green space for recreation. The ward's topography includes gradual slopes towards the River Sence, and it features a mix of older stone properties and more recent housing developments. Community life is focused around local schools, churches, and village halls, with regular events fostering a sense of local identity distinct from the larger urban centre of Hinckley to the south.
