SITUATION

Home Farm Yard is situated in the heart of the picturesque conservation village of Ketton.
Ketton, believed to derive its name from the historic pronunciation of the River Chater that flows through the village, is also the namesake of Ketton Stone, a limestone used in several of the beautiful buildings in the village and surrounding area. Some of the old quarries are now a Site of Special Scientific Interest, maintained by Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust. St. Mary s Church is Grade I listed with the earliest architecture dating as far back as the 12th century whilst the Methodist Church dates back some 150 years.
