THEDDINGWORTH (All Saints), a parish, in the union of Market-Harborough, partly in the hundred of Rothwell, N. division of the county of Northampton, but chiefly in the hundred of Gartree, S. division of the county of Leicester, 4½ miles (W. by S.) from Harborough; containing, with the hamlet, of Hothorpe, 270 inhabitants, of whom 254 are in Theddingworth township.
The parish is situated on the road from Harborough to Lutterworth, and the Grand Union canal passes through it; the scenery is in many places remarkably pleasing. The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the king’s books at £8. 15. 7.; net income, £137; patron, J. Cook, Esq.; impropriator, the Earl Spencer. The church, which is generally in bad repair, has a very handsome spire, and contains some monuments to members of the Bathurst family. There is a place of worship for Independents.
An allotment of 25 acres of land, made under an inclosure act in 1715, is partly let out to cottagers, and partly given for pasturing cattle; the proceeds of the first portion, and a sum of £12. 12. per annum arising from several bequests, are distributed among the poor.
