The Hugglescote Bear
This sculpture was unveiled in November 2008, it is made from Bath Limestone, and stands on the corner of Central Road and Fairfield Road.
The sculpture is about how the village of Hugglescote got its name. According to folklore, many years ago when Brown Bears were in England, a man named Huggle was being chased by a bear. He took off his coat to run faster, and the bear hugged that instead of him.

The Old Manor House
The ancient manor house at Donington-le-Heath was derelict for many years in the 1950's and 60's, and was almost lost to posterity. Now owned by the County Council, it is a worthy museum to our ancient heritage and stages many events annually.
