Saxby

Saxby is a village in the Melton district of Leicestershire. It forms part of Freeby parish, whose council represents Saxby, Freeby, Stapleford, Wyfordby and Brentingby. The parish council identifies these as five separate villages with their own histories and settings.

St Peter's Church is a local landmark, recorded in the Church of England's Church Heritage Record. Together with the parish council's account of Saxby's history, it provides a specific introduction to the village and its place within the countryside around Melton Mowbray.

For someone choosing a home in Saxby, the village and the wider parish are different scales of community. Parish council information covers all five villages, so check where a particular meeting, facility or event takes place. Compare the journey from the house to the services you use in the surrounding area; the parish name alone does not describe that access.
