About

Whissendine ward encompasses the village of Whissendine along with surrounding farmland in the northwestern corner of Rutland. The area is primarily agricultural, characterised by open fields and the meandering course of the River Gwash. The settlement itself is linear, following the main street, with many buildings constructed from the local ironstone.

A notable landmark is the six-storey windmill, which stands prominently and is one of the few remaining in the county with its machinery intact. The parish church of St. Andrew also dates to the Norman period. Economic activity has historically centred on farming and the former quarrying of ironstone, which gives the older architecture its distinctive colour and texture.
