The small rural civil parish of Staunton Harold in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire is centred on the historic estate of Staunton Harold Hall and the striking 17th‑century St James' Church, which was built as a private chapel during the Commonwealth and is notable for its surviving Jacobean interior and family monuments.
Set in rolling farmland and parkland with the nearby Staunton Harold Reservoir, the area is popular for walking and wildlife watching; the local economy is still largely agricultural, supplemented by a modest amount of tourism and events around the hall, and community life tends to be quiet and closely connected with neighbouring villages.
