Welcome to the Woodhouse and Woodhouse Eaves Local History Group
Please see the Programme page for planned events
Woodhouse and Woodhouse Eaves are two closely connected villages which are situated a few miles south of Loughborough. Both have fascinating and extensive histories which continue to be explored. The local history group provides a forum to meet, present and discuss historical interests related to the villages, the surrounding area and beyond.
Woodhouse is essentially a quiet, pretty rural village. It is relatively small with no shops, pubs or restaurants but is close to Beaumanor Hall and next to its larger neighbour, Woodhouse Eaves. Together Woodhouse and Woodhouse Eaves form the Parish of Woodhouse.
Woodhouse Eaves lies beneath Beacon Hill and under the eaves of Charnwood Forest, hence its name. It is the larger of the two villages in the parish of Woodhouse, with shops and public houses which serve both villages.
The Local History Group has been in existence for many years and is active in supporting, disseminating and archiving research related to all aspects of the history of the parish of Woodhouse and its surrounds.
The Local History Group holds meetings to present and discuss new findings related to local history topics. These have recently been held as on-line video conferences but traditionally are held in the Methodist Church in Woodhouse Eaves.
