Church Lane, Sproxton
The road bends to the right at climbs up the hill to the church which is out of sight behind the building on the right.
Note the orange ironstone used for building and the dark glazed tiles. These are Bottesford Blues, (although they're black!), and are clay pantiles finished with a hard wearing glaze. Locally made in Bottesford, Image and Image, in the 18th and 19th centuries these are a common sight in the north east Leicestershire villages. The secret glaze "recipe" was lost when the tile works closed but it is rumoured that the secret has been discovered and they will be made again. In the mean time the only supply of anything similar, if wanted for renovation work, is from Holland.
