Bisbrooke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bisbrooke is a village in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. It is located about two miles east of Uppingham close to the A47. In 2001, it had a population of 219.
In the 1950s, "small-holdings, orchards and vegetable patches jostle each other in the sheltered hollows of Bisbrooke” where “almost everyone grows and sells strawberries”; much of the fruit was sent for jam-making.
The village was too unremarkable to warrant an entry in Arthur Mee's The King's England volume. The parish church is St John the Baptist. Bisbrooke Hall is actually nearer to Glaston. The Gate Inn is on Main Street.
