Croxton Kerrial is a small rural village and civil parish in the Borough of Melton, in north‑east Leicestershire, close to the border with Lincolnshire. Sitting on rolling countryside above the Vale of Belvoir, it has the feel of an agricultural community - arable fields and pasture surround a compact village of stone cottages and a modest village hall, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Grantham and Melton Mowbray.
Its history stretches back to the medieval period and the village name reflects the influence of local landowning families; today that heritage is visible in a handful of older buildings and the parish church alongside more recent housing. Community life is steady rather than high‑profile, centred on the pub, local clubs and seasonal events, with the surrounding landscape popular with walkers and country pursuits.
