Leicestershire
County town: Leicester
Other major towns: Hinkley, Loughborough, Coalville
Situated in the centre of England, Leicestershire now includes what was once England's smallest county of Rutland.
The county is a stronghold of fox hunting with famous hunts such as the Quorn, the Belvoir and the Cottesmore meeting regularly in the winter season. Market Harborough's claim to fame is the invention of the liberty bodice and later other ladies undergarments.
Lady Jane Grey, the nine-days queen executed by Mary Tudor, lived part of her short life at Bradgate House in Charnwood forest near Leicester.
