Burton Lazars is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Melton, Leicestershire, England, situated a few miles west of the market town of Melton Mowbray. It sits amid rolling Leicestershire farmland and has the quiet feel of a traditional rural settlement, with a mix of historic cottages and working farms and many residents who commute to nearby towns.
The village is best known for its medieval connections: it grew up around a hospital of the Order of Saint Lazarus for people with leprosy, and earthwork and archaeological remains from that foundation still give the place a strong historic identity. That legacy, together with local agricultural life and easy access to Melton Mowbray’s markets and food traditions, shapes the village’s cultural and social character today.
