The village and civil parish of Hathern sits in the borough of Charnwood in Leicestershire, England, a few miles north of Loughborough. It occupies pleasant rolling countryside and blends older stone and brick buildings with more recent housing, centred around a village green, a historic parish church and a compact range of shops, pubs and community facilities.
Hathern has a local history tied to traditional county trades such as brick- and tile-making and framework knitting, while today many residents commute to nearby towns and to hubs in the East Midlands. Despite modern pressures the village maintains an active social life through its school, village hall and community groups, which help preserve a strong sense of local identity.
