Thurcaston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thurcaston is a village in Leicestershire, and was home to Bishop Hugh Latimer.
It is close to Anstey and Cropston, and the Rothley Brook flows through the village.
The village of Thurcaston has existed for several centuries, and as well as a church there are several old houses. There is also a very small Methodist Chapel. The village school is Richard Hill Primary School, which was founded in 1715.
Generally, there are few facilities but there is a pub, The Wheatsheaf Inn; an electrical showroom, Tebbatts Electronics and the Hilltop Garage. There are two hourly bus services, and another that comes less regularly.
The A46 Leicester Western Bypass runs close to the village, separating it from Leicester, Birstall and Beaumont Leys.
