Lockington is a village in the Leicestershire parish of Lockington cum Hemington. The village is close to the Derbyshire border. Although there isn't a rail station in the village, East Midlands Parkway opened nearby in 2008 at Ratcliffe-on-Soar which provides links to the Midland Main Line. Lockington Hall in the village was the home of a branch of the Curzon family. In 1904 Henry Curzon of Lockington Hall was High Sheriff of Derbyshire. In 1994 a hoard of Bronze Age items was discovered locally. The hoard consisted of the shards of two Beaker style pots, a copper based alloy dagger and two embossed gold-sheet armlets. These 4,000-year-old finds are now in the British Museum.〔British Museum Collection ()〕 ==Notable people== John Gilbert Cooper, poet, was born here in 1722. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lockington, Leicestershire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
