This northeast corner of Leicestershire was noted in the middle Ages for its woods and for hunting. The best Fox Hounds were traditionally bred in this corner of England. Melton Mowbray is an ancient agricultural centre and was recorded in the Doomsday Book [1086] as Leicestershire's only market town.

Today, Melton Mowbray remains an attractive medieval market town set in a gentle, rolling landscape. The town's community has always had an intimate relationship with the surrounding villages and the people. There has been a Tuesday market in the town ever since 1324. The local farm produce is still sold there today.
