Lutterworth

A unique market town which offers a range of shops, cafes and restaurants.


Found at the southernmost tip of Leicestershire, Lutterworth is an attractive market town which has twice made a mark in history. In the fourteenth century John Wycliffe led the pioneering translation of the Bible into English and, more than five hundred years later, Sir Frank Whittle developed the Jet Engine at the Ladywood Works off Leicester Road, Lutterworth.

Travel is at the heart of Lutterworth, from the ancient Roman roads that meet there, via the town hall designed by Joseph Hansom of Hansom Cab fame, to Sir Frank Whittle. Sir Frank, the man behind the jet engine, did much of his revolutionary work right here in Lutterworth.
