About Great Bowden
Great Bowden, a parish of quiet grace, breathes the air of the Leicestershire countryside. It lies 1.9 km north-east of Market Harborough (from Market Harborough: bearing 40°T, OS grid SP 744 888). The village, a cluster of stone-built homes, often catches the low afternoon sun, its golden light softening the edges of the ancient roofs and the well-tended gardens. The broad sweep of the land around Great Bowden, agricultural and open, speaks of centuries of cultivation, a landscape shaped by the farmer’s hand. Its church, St. Peter and St. Paul, stands as a sentinel, its spire a familiar point against the vast English sky, a place where generations have found solace and community. Even the gentle slope of the land towards the Welland Valley hints at the slow, persistent flow of water, a lifeblood that has nourished this place for ages.
