Market Bosworth is a small hilltop market town in Hinckley and Bosworth, with traders in its square since the 13th century, Bosworth Hall of the 1680s (now a hotel), and the Dixie Grammar School, re-founded in 1601, whose 1828 building faces the square. Around it lie the villages of the CV13 postcode: Barlestone and Carlton, Shackerstone and Congerstone on the Ashby Canal, and Sutton Cheney, beside the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre that tells the story of 1485. The postal town is Nuneaton, but this is rural Leicestershire.
The Market Place and streets of Market Bosworth’s conservation area
The council’s appraisal, adopted in 2014 with its own roof survey, records red brick as the main walling and clay tiles and slate as the commonest roofs, with plain tiles on the Market Place rows. Plain clay tiles can be matched from reclaimed stock, and small repairs done tile by tile.
Sutton Cheney, Shackerstone, Congerstone and Stoke Golding
Reddish-brick cottages under clay tile with oversailing eaves in Sutton Cheney, steep gables of clay tile or slate in Shackerstone, and a Swithland slate roof at The Limes in Stoke Golding. Keeping each village’s roofline and materials is the priority in any repair.
Barlestone, Carlton and the newer edges of the larger villages
Postwar and later houses with concrete or clay tiles, flat-roofed garages and uPVC roofline. The work here is mostly straightforward maintenance and, on the oldest, re-roofing.
Market Bosworth stands on a low hill above open farmland, and the villages around it are exposed and rural, so roofs catch the wind across the fields. The lockless Ashby Canal, opened in 1804, winds past the west side of the town and through Shackerstone and Congerstone. Cottages with oversailing eaves and steep gables shed rain well, but their eaves, verges and brick chimneys take the full force of the weather and need keeping sound.
Market Bosworth and its villages fall within Hinckley and Bosworth Borough, which has conservation areas at Market Bosworth (declared in 1974), Shackerstone, Congerstone, Sutton Cheney, Stoke Golding, Shenton, Cadeby and Osbaston, and along the Ashby Canal. The borough says it has no Article 4 directions in its conservation areas, so re-roofing an ordinary unlisted home in matching materials rarely needs consent. Bosworth Hall (Grade II*) and the church of St Peter are among the listed buildings where any change of character needs consent.
Planning authority for Market Bosworth: Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. We will tell you at the quote if your job needs consent, but the council has the final say.
Clay plain tile and slate on the Market Place and village cottages, matched from new or reclaimed stock so repairs disappear into the roof.
Pitched Roofing in Market Bosworth →Brick stacks on the older town and village houses take the weather on open, rural ground and need regular repointing and sound flashings.
Chimney Repairs in Market Bosworth →Slipped tiles, lifted eaves and worn verges on cottage roofs, put right before the weather gets into the timbers.
Roof Repairs in Market Bosworth →Roofs among the trees and fields of the Bosworth countryside collect moss and debris, especially on north-facing clay-tile slopes.
Moss Removal & Cleaning in Market Bosworth →Because that is what the town was built with. Hinckley and Bosworth’s appraisal of the Market Bosworth conservation area, which includes a roof survey, records clay tiles and slate as the commonest coverings and red brick as the main walling. Concrete tiles are coarser and a different shape, and look out of place on a Georgian market square; matching clay tiles keeps the roofline right.
No, only the post goes that way. Market Bosworth’s postal town is Nuneaton, but the town and the CV13 villages covered here are in Leicestershire, and it is Hinckley and Bosworth that handles their planning. Twycross and Sheepy Magna, which people often think of as nearby, are actually CV9. We are based in Hugglescote, a few miles north, and cover this side of CV13.
