Enderby

Description in 1877:
"ENDERBY, a large and populous village and parish, with many framework knitters, is situated on a pleasant declivity, on the west side of the vale of the Soar, 5 miles S.W. by S. of Leicester. Its parish which is in Sparkenhoe Hundred, Blaby Union, and Leicester County Court District, contained 1390 inhabitants in 1871, living in 310 houses, on 1810 acres of land. This return contains 53 paupers in Blaby Union Workhouse, which is situated about a mile east of the village, and near the bridge which crosses the Soar. The parish is bounded on the east by the river, and on the north by a small rivulet which divides it from Braunstone. The soil is partly clay, and in some parts a light loam, and the ground is rocky and well wooded."
