Croxton Kerrial is a ward in the borough of Melton in Leicestershire, England, occupying a rural, north‑eastern fringe of the county close to the border with Lincolnshire and the rolling lowlands of the Vale of Belvoir. The landscape is predominantly agricultural, with hedged fields, scattered farmsteads and a small village core of stone and brick houses.
It has medieval roots - the place name is traditionally linked to an early personal name together with the historic Kerrial family - and the parish retains older church fabric and lanes that hint at that past. Today the ward is a quiet, close‑knit rural community where farming remains important alongside people who commute to nearby towns such as Grantham or Melton, and local life centres on the village hall, parish activities and occasional country events often drawing on the nearby landmark of Belvoir Castle for regional identity.
