MenuStretton Magna, Leicestershire
Stretton Magna (or Great Stretton) is a deserted mediæval village in Leicestershire. Stretton Magna is listed in Domesday. Some enclosure took place shortly before 1500 by Thomas Kebell but the major enclosure which led to depopulation was between 1640-70. The extensive earthworks include a moated site, two fishponds and part of the associated field system, located around the extant mediæval Church of St Giles. The church and two properties on Gartree Road to the north of the deserted village form the present-day hamlet of Great Stretton. The site is within the council area of Harborough (Leicestershire).
