The ParishThe parish of Beeby lies in eastern central Leicestershire about 6 miles northeast of the city of Leicester. Beeby sits within a broad area with no significant numbered roads, the closest being the A563 which forms the northeastern bypass to Leicester and sits some 4 miles southwest of Beeby. Beeby is a very small place , little more than hamlet with no obvious village facilities remaining, most properties lie along its "Main Street" north of that road's crossing of a small brook. The area is largely dominated by small pastures which largely supported a dairy cattle regime with small pockets of arable mixed within. Beeby is drained northwestwards by that small brook, a tributary of the nearby River Soar which is joined to the north of Leicester, the Soar eventually meets the Trent and that the north Sea through the Humber Estuary. Beeby is sited at around 80 metres above the sea in undulating countryside where a local height of over 130 metres is reached a little over 2 miles to the southeast. Beeby parish was fairly typically sized for its area, covering a little over 1,400 acres it would have supported a population of close to 100 parishioners. In Domesday times Beeby was a holding of Crowland Abbey offering 7 ploughs and a small meadow. |
