Swithland history
Swithland was originally held by Groby until 1412. Part of the village was held by the Danvers (originally called D’Anvers) family. The churchyard of St. Leonard’s includes the tomb of Sir Joseph Danvers, 1st Baronet, which was built half inside the graveyard and half outside (on Danvers’ estate) to allow his favourite dog to be buried with him.
Swithland Estate
The original Swithland Hall, which stood at the eastern end of the village as it is today, was destroyed by fire in 1822. The current hall, a Grade II listed building, was partially completed in 1834 and finished in 1852 by John George Danvers Butler, sixth Earl of Lanesborough. The estate includes the lantern cross that originally stood in Mountsorrel that dates from 1500.
