About South Kilworth

Our Village: A brief history

Over a thousand years ago there was a thriving community here in our village. In fact our story may go back to roman times, as explained on the Village History Page.

St. Nicholas' Church was built soon after the Norman invasion (1066 and all that) and is still in regular use with a committed congregation. Our village school has a long history and is very well regarded. Indeed it has been described as South Leicestershire's best kept secret. Primary School  

We have plenty of photos of the village, old and new, for browsing here: Historical Photographs. If you have any interesting village photos that might be of interest to your neighbours, please send them in : Contact Us

The Parish Council

The Parish Council represents the interests of the village and uses your rates to provide and manage local services such as street lighting, allotments, sports field and play ground, rubbish bins, grass cutting and other services, such as this Community Website.

The Village Hall

Many of the Village’s activities take place in the Village Hall on Leys Crescent.  Here also is the sports field, children’s playground, adult fitness equipment and the bowling green. There’s a large hall with smaller meeting rooms, a bar and kitchen, plus changing rooms & showers for visiting teams.  All available for hire.

South Kilworth Village Hall is run by the village hall committee which meets once a month to discuss coming events, maintenance and any issues.
