Bus on Leicester Road, Narborough
This Scania Omnilink, operated by Arriva Midlands, is waiting to return to Leicester from Narborough. I find it rather odd that it is showing "City Centre" rather than "Leicester", as Narborough is definitely not part of Leicester. Although the bus is on Leicester Road, facing Leicester, it will in fact turn back on itself a short way along the road and wind round through the back streets of Narborough and Enderby before regaining the main road to the city.

All Saints Church, Narborough
The current church in Narborough dates from the 13th Century although it is highly probable an even earlier church dating back to the 10th century or before stood on or near the site. A Saxon tombstone called a Hogback was found near the church and is on display at the Jewry Wall museum in Leicester.
The church was largely rebuilt in 1856-1883. There are two aisles, nave, chancel and north vestry with a west tower containing a ring of six bells. The large nave of six bays has fine piers and strong shafts. The chancel was rebuilt in 1883 by F. Bacon. There is also an Ascension window by Theodora Salusbury from 1929 (Carlton church has a another fine window by the artist) in the north aisle. The stained window has two fish hidden in the folds of the robes. The ornate reredos behind the altar is very fine as is the whole of the chancel area.
The parish is part of the benefice of Narborough and Huncote, within the Diocese of Leicester. The church has weekly Sunday services and other events, including a yearly Christmas Tree Festival. The church is normally locked, but hold regular events and open days.
