About Fencing in Markfield
Markfield in Leicestershire sits close to Bardon Hill, the highest point in the county, and the village's economy has long been shaped by the granite quarried from the surrounding hills, alongside a smaller tradition of stocking making that once supplemented the income of local families. The parish church, though much altered, has registers dating back to 1573, and it was rebuilt and enlarged in 1865, with a stained east window added in 1920 as a memorial to local men who died in the First World War. Markfield's granite has long been valued for its hardness, and quarrying in the area, alongside neighbouring outcrops of the same rock, helped supply stone for roads and construction across the wider East Midlands.
