The Gregory Arms, Harlaxton

Named after the industrialist who built Harlaxton Manor, the Gregory Arms is on the A607, the busy main road from Melton Mowbray to Grantham. The local inn in the village had been the Golden Lion, housed in the premises now known as Wyggeston Farm. The story is that the Squire, John Sherwin Gregory, returning from church on Sunday, was upset to see his villagers drinking their pints of ale outside the public house, so he had a new inn built on the main road called The Gregory Arms. The main village of Harlaxton is in the square to the south. There is a small housing estate behind the pub.
